We're in Filey, First timers purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Virgin Money , and our lawyer is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?

The fact that your lawyer is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no lawyer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

Just bought a detached house in Filey , how long should it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my proprietorship? My Filey conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be certain that my name is registered.

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Filey registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd persons or bodies. As of today roughly three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with within two weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays. Historically registration takes place once the purchaser is living at the premises therefore 'speed' is not usually top priority but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I am purchasing a new build house in Filey with a loan from TSB. The developers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The property agent suggested that I not reveal to my solicitor about the side-deal as it may affect my loan with the bank. 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.
