I am expecting a mortgage offer from Lloyds. I would like to employ the services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Kettering. Does the Lloyds Conveyancing panel include Licensed Conveyancers?

Me and my fiancee are buying our first home. Our property lawyer has texted usto check if we wish to order extra conveyancing searches. As novices we are clueless as to what's recommended for conveyancing in Kettering
The scope of Kettering conveyancing searches depends primarily on the premises, the location, the possibility of any of these risks, your knowledge of the region and risks, your overall attitude to risk. What is important is that you adequately appreciate what information the searches could provide. You may then make a decision if you personally think you need that information. If in doubt, ask your property lawyer to advise.
is it true that all Kettering solicitors on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel are regulated by the SRA?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel they would need to be overseen by the SRA. The majority of banks do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the firms would be regulated by the CLC.
About to purchase maisonette in Kettering. 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 Virgin Money 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 Kettering conveyancer is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.
Barclays have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a flat in Kettering has been agreed to, what are the next steps?
Your estate agent will wish to be informed of your lawyer's details (be sure the property lawyers are on the bank’s approved list). Telephone Barclays or your financial adviser and complete any relevant documentation. Barclays will instruct a valuer who will get in contact with the selling agent or owners to book an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes on average ten days to get a mortgage offer. Barclays will issue the offer to you and your lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Kettering.
I purchased my apartment on 8 April and the transaction details is yet to be on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Kettering expressed confidence that it will be dealt with inside ten days. Are transfers in Kettering uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Kettering registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any third parties. Currently in the region of three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with within two weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Historically registration takes place once the new owner has moved in to the premises thus post completion formalities is not always top priority but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers must speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I am purchasing a ground floor flat in Kettering. Conveyancing solicitor is awaiting, from the seller, building insurance paperwork. I was told today I was informed that the vendor must send the insurance documents for the flat above as well. Why does my property lawyer want to review the insurance for the flat above? Is it really necessary? We have been in hold for the last three weeks…
It is not impossible in leasehold conveyancing in Kettering to find Conveyancing in Kettering in a minority of cases reveals that the lease provides for the tenant's to insure their individual flats rather than the freeholder insuring the whole premises - which is clearly preferable.

Insuring your residence is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the 1st floor cannot be rebuilt due to lack of insurance.
