Can you help? My Botley lawyer is informing me me that he is legally obliged toorder Botley conveyancing searches resulting from the fact thatthe firm are on the Santanderapproved lawyer panel. These Botley checks cost a lot of money can this be avoided?
You have limited options available to you. As you are taking a mortgage with a lender your conveyancer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook specifications . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Botley conveyancing searches.

I bought my flat on 5 August and my personal details is not yet on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Botley expressed confidence that it should be formalised in a couple of weeks. Are properties in Botley uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in Botley is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry need to notify any 3rd persons or bodies. As of today in the region of three quarters of submission are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Historically registration is effected after the new owner has moved in to the property so post completion formalities is not typically an essential issue but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer should contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
