I opted for a Redditch based firm for my conveyancing in Redditch recently. Upon checking the fine print I seeI am responsible for fees even if the movefalls through. Would I be best advised to use a web based firm promoting no move no charge conveyancing in Redditch?

Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be uplifted to counteract the transactions that do not go ahead. Please beware that such schemes rarely protect you from expenditure e.g. Redditch conveyancing search charges.

What will a local search inform me about the house my wife and I buying in Redditch?

Redditch conveyancing often commences with the ordering local authority searches directly from your local Authority or via a personal search company such as Searchflow The local search plays an important role in many a Redditch conveyancing purchase; that is if you wish to avoid any unpleasant surprises after you move into your property. The search will provide data on, amongst other things, details on planning applications applicable to the premises (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of 13 subject headings.

I moved into my house on 13 September and my personal details is not yet registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Redditch advises it should be formalised inside ten days. Are titles in Redditch particularly slow to register?

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Redditch registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry need to notify any interested persons or bodies. At present in the region of three quarters of such applications are fully addressed within 12 days but some can be subject to protracted delays. Historically registration occurs after the buyer has moved in to the premises therefore 'speed' is not always primary concern but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I'm buying my first flat in Redditch with the aid of help to buy. The sellers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The property agent suggested that I not inform my solicitor about the deal as it will adversely affect my loan with Chelsea Building Society. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.
