Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in West Sussex is not on my bank's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of his conveyancing?
That is most likely a wrong assumption to make. There are plenty of plausible explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator revealed that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Where you are concerned you should contact the West Sussex conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.

Just acquired a detached house in West Sussex , how long should it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing the transfer to my name? My West Sussex conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to check that my purchase is registered.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in West Sussex registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any third parties. As of today approximately three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Historically registration occurs once the buyer is living at the property therefore registration formalities is not always an essential issue but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

My husband and I are new on the property ladder - agreed a price, yet the estate agent has warned us that the vendor will only go ahead if we appoint the agent's chosen lawyers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family solicitor who is accustomed to conveyancing in West Sussex
We suspect that the owner is not behind this request. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Contact the sellers directly and make the point that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to use your own,trusted West Sussex conveyancing firm - as opposed tothe ones that will earn the negotiator at the agency a kickback or achieve conveyancing thresholds set by head office.
