Me and my partner are planning to purchase a 1 bedroom flat in Cheslyn Hay with a mortgage. We like our Cheslyn Hay lawyer, however the mortgage company says she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the bank panel conveyancing practices or keep our Cheslyn Hay lawyer and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. We regard this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your Cheslyn Hay conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
I have given 8 weeks notice to my existing landlord and have to vacate my let out property in Cheslyn Hay by 4/6/2024. Conveyancing for my house purchase has just started. Can I complete in six weeks as don't want to have to find temporary accommodation?
It is unwise to give notice on a rental until you have exchanged. If you have not already done so, speak to your lawyer and ask them to they seek the assistance the sellers solicitors, try to a target completion date that all parties will work to achieve
My house in Cheslyn Hay is up for sale and I have a buyer. Does the solicitor have to be on the Santander conveyancing panel in order to deal with the discharge of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Santander conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their specifications fairly frequently in recent years.
Have purchased a a semi-detached house in Cheslyn Hay , how long should it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing the transfer to my name? My Cheslyn Hay conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to check that my name is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Cheslyn Hay registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any interested parties. At present in the region of three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with within two weeks but some can be subject to protracted delays. Historically registration takes place after the buyer has moved in to the premises thus post completion formalities is not usually primary concern yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
