I am not in a position to travel far from Campden Hill. What is the rationale as to why all Campden Hill property lawyers aren't included on all bank panels?
Before the recession most mortgage companies had an attitude to risk which is different than today. The Financial Services Authority in 2010 instigated a thematic review into mortgage fraud which concluded: know the lawyers on your panel. As a result, mortgage companies have subsequently looked to extract more data from law firms about their operations and the staff who work for them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum amount of transactions. Hundreds of law practices have found themselves removed from lender panels even though they had 100% healthy disciplinary record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Such firms were never going to meet the minimum amount of transactions the lenders required.
Just bought a detached house in Campden Hill , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register my ownership? My Campden Hill conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be sure that my name is recorded.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Campden Hill registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any interested persons or bodies. At present roughly three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Registration is effected once the buyer is living at the premises so 'speed' is not always primary concern yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
