I am hoping to receive a offer of a home loan from Nat West. My intention is to instruct a Licensed Conveyancer in Borehamwood. Does the Nat West Solicitor panel include Licensed Conveyancers?
The Nat West approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, represented by the Council or Mortgage Lenders or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

Is it correct that all Borehamwood CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Barclays conveyancing panel?
A selection of banks and building societies now utilise CQS as the kick off point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS membership however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to join their panels.
is it true that all Borehamwood solicitor practices on the Nationwide conveyancing panel are regulated by the SRA?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Nationwide conveyancing panel they would need to be regulated by the SRA. Many lenders do list licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such practice would be governed by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
I require expedited conveyancing in Borehamwood as I am under an ultimatum to sign on the dotted line in less than 2 weeks. A home loan is not required. Is it possible to avoid the conveyancing searches to save money and time?
As you are not getting a mortgage you have the choice not to have searches carried out although no conveyancer would advise that you don't.

How does conveyancing in Borehamwood differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Borehamwood approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Borehamwood tend to buy the real estate, 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 property lawyers 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 Borehamwood or who has acted in the same development.
I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Borehamwood. Before I set the wheels in motion I require certainty as to the remaining lease term.
If the lease is registered - and almost all are in Borehamwood - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
