I am not in a position to travel far from Dersingham. I would like to know the reason why all Dersingham conveyancing practitioners aren't automatically on all lender panels?

The FSA in 2010 carried out a thematic review into mortgage fraud which in summary warned lenders: know the conveyancing practitioners on your panel. Consequently, banks have subsequently looked to extract more information from law firms concerning their processes and the individuals employed by them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum amount of transactions.

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Dersingham registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry have to notify any other persons or bodies. Currently roughly three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Historically registration takes place once the buyer is living at the property therefore an expedited registration is not always primary concern but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

Dersingham conveyancing solicitors are used to conveyancing propertieson private. Your conveyancer will review the title to identify any rights or liabilities. In many cases there is a management company (wholly owned by residents) that proprietors pay into for the upkeep of the road. Where there is one, the road will likely be maintained and appear better than publicly owned.
