I have just been advised by my lender that my Perton solicitor is not on the mortgage company Conveyancing panel. How can I check?
Your first step should be to call your Perton lawyer directly. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to notify you of the situation. Where they are not on the panel they may be able to suggest a Perton conveyancing firm that is on the approved list of lawyers for your mortgage company.
Do lenders provide you with an approved list of Perton conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel?
Perton conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Nationwide conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Nationwide directly.
I purchased my home on 2 January and the transaction details are still not on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Perton advises it should be registered in a couple of weeks. Are titles in Perton particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Perton registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any third parties. As of today approximately 80% of submission are fully addressed within 12 days but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Historically registration takes place once the buyer is living at the premises thus 'speed' is not always top priority yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

How can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my commercial property in Perton and how can you help?
The particular law that you refer to gives a safeguard to commercial tenants, granting the a statutory right to apply to court for a continuation of occupancy at the end of the lease term. There are certain specified grounds that a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complex. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.
