I am under pressure from the seller of a property in Wombourne to sign contracts within four weeks. What can I do to speed up matters?

It is possible that they would have transacted previoushouses in the same neighbourhood. You would be best advised to use a Wombourne conveyancing lawyer.

It is claimed that just under twenty per cent of Wombourne conveyancing deals are suspended or jeopardised after finding out that a purchaser’s lawyer was not on their mortgage lender’s panel. In many cases this discovery resulted in the legal transfer of property being frustrated by as much as 21 days. It is claimed that this issue impacts approximately 100,000 home moves annually. Most Wombourne conveyancing practices can not act for certain banks so do check at the outset.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Barclays. I assume I don't need a Wombourne conveyancing practitioner on the Barclays panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Barclays mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Barclays mortgage from the register. Barclays, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Barclays has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Barclays has instructed the Land Registry to do so
About to purchase house in Wombourne. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage".

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Wombourne lawyer is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one near me in Wombourne I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it's only got 51 years on the lease.

If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
