Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Castle Bromwich. Is there a reason why all Castle Bromwich conveyancing practitioners aren't included on all bank panels?
Lenders ordinarily restrict either the nature or volume of conveyancing practices on their approved list of lawyers. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a firm needs to have at least two partners. In addition to restricting the nature of firm, some banks for instance HSBC decided to restrict the size of their panel they allow to act for them. You should note that banks have no accountability for the accuracy of conveyancing provided by any Castle Bromwich lawyer on their panel. Property fraud was the key driver in the reduction of conveyancing panels from 2008 notwithstanding that there are differing views about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics published by HMLR exposes that thousands of law organisations only carry out less than three conveyances annually. Those advocating conveyancing panel cuts ask why conveyancing firms should have claim to be on a bank panel when clearly property law is not their primary expertise?
I am nearing an exchange on a flat in Castle Bromwich and my mum and dad have sent the exchange deposit to my property lawyer. I am now told that as the deposit has not arrived from me my conveyancer needs to make a notification to my lender. I am advised that, in also acting for the bank he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I advised the mortgage company regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for this now to be an issue?
Your conveyancer is obliged to clarify with lender to make sure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. The solicitor can only reveal this to your mortgage company if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

I completed on my flat on 11 March and the transaction details are still not registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Castle Bromwich advises it should be recorded inside ten days. Are properties in Castle Bromwich uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in Castle Bromwich is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any third parties. Currently roughly 80% of such applications are fully addressed within two weeks but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Historically registration takes place once the new owner has moved in to the property so an expedited registration is not typically an essential issue but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Castle Bromwich is the location of the property. Can you offer any assistance?
