My wife and I are looking to acquire a property in Bryncoch and have instructed a Bryncoch conveyancing firm. Within the last couple of days our conveyancer has forwarded the sale agreement to be signed with a detailed report with a view to exchanging next week. Norwich and Peterborough Building Society have this morning contacted us to inform me that they have now hit a problem as our Bryncoch conveyancer is not on their conveyancing panel. Is this a problem?
When purchasing a property with mortgage finance it is conventional for the purchasers' solicitors to also act for the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your solicitor should contact your lender and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on the bank's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Bryncoch lawyers, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it may delay matters as you are adding another lawyer into the mix.
We're in Bryncoch, FTBs buying with a mortgage (lender is Co-operative , and our lawyer is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no lawyer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
Just acquired a terraced house in Bryncoch , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register my proprietorship? My Bryncoch conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain that my purchase is recorded.
As far as conveyancing in Bryncoch registration is no faster or slower than the rest of England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any third persons or bodies. Currently in the region of three quarters of submission are completed within two weeks but some can be subject to protracted delays. Registration takes place after the buyer is living at the property so an expedited registration is not usually an essential issue yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Bryncoch before instructing conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the property. The surveyor advised that some lenders tend refuse to grant a loan on this type of premises.
It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different instructions for example to Halifax. If you call us we can investigate further via the relevant mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Bryncoch. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Bryncoch to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.

Am I better off to choose a Bryncoch conveyancing practitioner based in the location that I am hoping to buy? We have a good friend who can perform the legal formalities but her office is over three hundred kilometers away.
The benefit of a high street Bryncoch conveyancing practice is that you can attend the office to sign paperwork, hand in your identification documents and apply pressure on them if necessary. Having local Bryncoch know how is a plus. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who used your friend and on the whole were content that should surpass using an unknown Bryncoch conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being local.
