I am not well enough to travel far from Addlestone. What is the rationale as to why all Addlestone property lawyers are not on all bank panels?
Banks ordinarily impose restrictions on either the type or volume of conveyancing practices on their approved list of lawyers. A common example of such criteria being that the organisation is required to have at least two partners. In addition to restricting the nature of firm, some banks for example HSBC made a decision to reduce the number of practices they permit to represent them. It is worth noting that banks have no accountability for the standard of advice provided by any Addlestone property lawyer on their panel. Property fraud was the primary trigger for the culling of conveyancing panels from 2008 even though there are opposing points of view concerning the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics published by HM Land Registry exposes that thousands of conveyancing firms only carry out less than three conveyances a year. Those supporting conveyancing panel consolidation ask why law firms deserve the right to remain on a bank panel when it is apparent that conveyancing is not their primary expertise?
My home in Addlestone is up for sale and I have a buyer. Will the conveyancing practitioner have to be on the TSB conveyancing panel in order to deal with repayment of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the TSB conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their specifications fairly frequently currently.
Just acquired a detached house in Addlestone , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record my ownership? My Addlestone conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to check the registration is concluded.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Addlestone registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any other persons or bodies. Currently roughly 80% of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Historically registration occurs after the buyer is living at the premises therefore an expedited registration is not always an essential issue yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

Can you offer any advice when it comes to appointing a Addlestone conveyancing firm to carry out our lease extension conveyancing?
If you are instructing a solicitor for your lease extension (regardless if they are a Addlestone conveyancing firm) it is most important that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing. We advise that you talk with several firms including non Addlestone conveyancing practices before you instructing a firm. Where the conveyancing practice is ALEP accredited then so much the better. The following questions might be helpful:

My wife and I have hit a brick wall in trying to purchase the freehold in Addlestone. Can this matter be resolved via the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
if there is a absentee freeholder or if there is disagreement about the premium for a lease extension, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to assess the sum to be paid.
An example of a Lease Extension case for a Addlestone residence is 147 Redford Close in June 2012. The Tribunal determined the lease extension premium to be at £4,200 This case affected 1 flat. The unexpired lease term was 82.93 years.
