I have just been advised by my financial adviser that my Cranham solicitor is not on the mortgage company Conveyancing panel. How can I be certain if this is indeed the case?

You need to call your Cranham lawyer directly. You lawyer should inform you of the situation. If they are not on the panel they may be able to suggest a Cranham conveyancing practice that is on the conveyancing panel for your mortgage company.

At what point can the exchange of contracts occur in sale conveyancing in Cranham and am I required to attend the conveyancers office?

If you are in close proximity to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Cranham you are invited in to sign contracts. However, the lender approved solicitors we recommend supply a countrywide conveyancing service and provide just as diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The signing of the property agreement is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the firm to officially exchange when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a long "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Cranham)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

I am an executor of my recently deceased mother’s Will, with a property in Cranham which will be sold. The property is unregistered at HMLR and I'm told that some purchasers will insist that it is in place before they'll proceed. What's the mechanism for this?

In the situation that you have set out it seems sensible to apply to register in the names of the personal representative(s) as named in the probate and in their capacity as PRs. The Land Registry’s online guidance explains how to register for the first time and what is required re the deeds and forms. You would need to include and certified copy of the probate as well and complete the form FR1 to refer to the PRs as the applicant.
