Almost all lenders have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Department at head office.

However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service who will take matters further.
Intending to buy a maisonette in Holloway. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Holloway lawyer is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel.

As far as conveyancing in Holloway is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any other parties. Currently in the region of 80% of such applications are completed within 12 days but some can be subject to extensive delays. Historically registration occurs after the new owner has moved in to the premises so 'speed' is not usually primary concern but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
How does conveyancing in Holloway differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Holloway approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because house builders in Holloway typically buy the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Holloway or who has acted in the same development.
