Just bought a detached house in Catton , how long will it take for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Catton conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to check the land registry aspects are addressed.

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Catton registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any third parties.

Historically registration takes place once the new owner has moved in to the premises thus an expedited registration is not usually an essential issue yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

I am purchasing a new build house in Catton with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead.

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.
