I am not well enough to travel far from Page Green. What is the rationale as to why all Page Green conveyancers are not on all lender panels?
A decade ago most lenders displayed an attitude to risk which is different from today. The financial regulator in 2010 instigated a thematic review into property fraud which concluded: know the solicitors on your panel. As a result, banks have since requiredmore information from law firms regarding their operations and the individuals employed by them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum number of transactions. Many firms have been removed from lender panels even though they had an exemplary disciplinary record, no complaints and zero claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Many firms were never going to satisfy the minimum volume of transactions the lenders required.

I moved into my home on 10 November and the transaction details are still not registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Page Green said it will be dealt with in less than a month. Are transfers in Page Green particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Page Green registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd persons or bodies. As of today roughly three quarters of submission are fully dealt with within two weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Historically registration takes place once the buyer has moved in to the property so 'speed' is not always an essential issue but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
