Have completed on a a semi-detached house in Danescourt , how long will it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my proprietorship? My Danescourt conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be sure the registration is concluded.

As far as conveyancing in Danescourt is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any third persons or bodies. Currently in the region of 80% of submission are fully dealt with within 12 days but some can be subject to extensive delays. Registration takes place after the purchaser is living at the premises so an expedited registration is not typically an essential issue but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Danescourt benefiting from help to buy. The sellers refused to move on the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not disclose to my lawyer about this side-deal as it could impact my mortgage with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Danescourt. Before I get started I want to be sure as to the remaining lease term.

Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Danescourt - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
