There is a distinct ongoing adversarial element to conveyancing- someone has to be at fault for the process taking so long. We recommend that you your first instinct should be to trust your solicitor above all other parties in the conveyancing process.

I am expecting a DIP from Santander this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Santander recommend any Camborne solicitors on the Santander conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Camborne solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Santander conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Santander through the process.

I got the keys to my house on 7 July and my personal details are still not registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Camborne advises it should be formalised in less than a month. Are transfers in Camborne particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Camborne is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd parties. At present roughly three quarters of submission are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Registration is effected after the purchaser has moved in to the premises therefore 'speed' is not typically primary concern but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
Should I be concerned by 3rd parties that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use a factory type conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street Camborne conveyancing firm?
As with lots of professional services, often suggestions from family and friends can be worth their weight in gold. Yet there are lots of players in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, financial adviser and banks may suggest lawyers to select. On occasion the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there may be a commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You have the right to select your preferred conveyancer. However, bear in mind that some mortgage providers have an approved list of solicitors you must use for the mortgage related work in your conveyancing.
I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Camborne. Before I set the wheels in motion I want to be sure as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Camborne - 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.
