My IFA says he needs my Abbey Wood lawyer’ panel reference for the Lloyds conveyancing panel. What is the best way to discover this. I have e-mailed my local Abbey Wood branch but they cant find it on their system.

I have given 8 weeks notice to my existing landlord and must vacate my rented flat in Abbey Wood by the end of next month. Conveyancing on my purchase has just started. How realistic is it to complete in a couple of weeks as don't want to have to move into temporary accommodation?
It is unwise to give notice for your tenancy unless exchange of contracts has taken place. Assuming that you have not previously done so, speak to your solicitor and request that they chase the owners side, try to get a realistic time scale from them that everyone will work towards
What happens if my solicitor is suspended from the HSBC Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Abbey Wood?
First, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.
Just acquired a semi-detached house in Abbey Wood , how long should it take for the Land Registry to record my proprietorship? My Abbey Wood conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be certain that my ownership is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Abbey Wood is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any third persons or bodies. Currently approximately 80% of such applications are fully dealt with within 12 days but some can be subject to longer delays. Historically registration occurs once the buyer is living at the property therefore an expedited registration is not always top priority but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?
