I am obtaining a mortgage with Halifax. I would like to instruct a Licensed Conveyancer in Ardwick. Does the Halifax Conveyancing panel allow for conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Halifax conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, associated to the CML or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.

Just bought a terraced house in Ardwick , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register my title? My Ardwick conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure that my purchase is recorded.
As far as conveyancing in Ardwick registration is no faster or slower than the rest of the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any 3rd persons or bodies. As of today approximately three quarters of such applications are fully addressed within 12 days but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Registration takes place after the new owner has moved in to the property therefore post completion formalities is not usually an essential issue but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor must contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
How does conveyancing in Ardwick differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Ardwick come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because builders in Ardwick tend to purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Ardwick or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Ardwick is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Ardwick are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Ardwick you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Ardwick may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
