My IFA has asked me for my Bletchley law firm’s panel member for the Lloyds conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I obtain this. I have e-mailed my local Bletchley branch but they don't know it.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Bletchley conveyancer . Most Bletchley law firms will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each bank.
The property market in Bletchley is hotting up. What can be done to accelerate the legal process?
Where you are under a tight deadline to complete it is advisable to make sure that your solicitor is familiar with the location as they will have local connections and insight. It is even conceivable that they could have handled otherhouses in the same road. Therefore consider using a Bletchley conveyancing lawyer.

It is said that nearly one in five of Bletchley conveyancing deals are delayed or jeopardised after discovering a buyer’s conveyancer was not on their banks panel. This can often result in the legal transfer of property being held up by almost 21 days. It is understood that this issue impacts in the region of one hundred thousand home sales annually. Many Bletchley conveyancing practices can not act for certain mortgage companies so do check at the outset.
I own a freehold property in Bletchley but still charged rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Bletchley and has limited impact for conveyancing in Bletchley but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.
Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges have existed for hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the establishment of fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Old rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 will be dispensed with completely.
