We're in Ripponden, First time buyers purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Clydesdale , and our solicitor is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no property lawyer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors.

I moved into my home on 10 July and my personal details is yet to be registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Ripponden said it should be recorded in a couple of weeks. Are properties in Ripponden particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Ripponden registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any other parties. At present approximately 80% of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Historically registration takes place after the buyer has moved in to the premises therefore 'speed' is not usually an essential issue but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
