When purchasing a property with mortgage finance it is standard for the purchasers' lawyers to also act for the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your property lawyer should contact your mortgage company and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You don't have to instruct a firm on the bank's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Pembrokeshire solicitors, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it may delay matters as you are adding another lawyer into the mix.

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Pembrokeshire registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any 3rd parties. At present roughly 80% of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Historically registration takes place after the new owner is living at the property so an expedited registration is not typically primary concern but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
