My partner and I are hoping to acquire a house in Bungay and are in fact using a Bungay conveyancing firm. Within the past 48 hours our property lawyer has forwarded the sale agreement to be signed with a detailed report with a view to exchanging next week. Barclays have this morning contacted us to inform me that they have now hit a problem as our Bungay lawyer is not on their conveyancing panel. What do we do from here?
When purchasing a property with mortgage finance it is conventional for the purchasers' lawyers to also act for the purchaser's lender. 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 Accreditation Scheme. Your property lawyer should contact your bank 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 and you may continue to use your own Bungay solicitors, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it will likely delay the transaction as you have another set of people involved.

Just acquired a semi-detached house in Bungay , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my ownership? My Bungay conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain that my purchase is recorded.
As far as conveyancing in Bungay is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any 3rd parties. As of today in the region of three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Historically registration takes place once the new owner has moved in to the property thus an expedited registration is not typically top priority but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
