Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the RBS conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their panel criteria fairly frequently at the moment.

Have completed on a a semi-detached house in Coleford , how long will it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my ownership? My Coleford conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to check that my ownership is registered.

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Coleford registration formalities.

As of today approximately three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Registration occurs after the new owner has moved in to the premises so 'speed' is not usually top priority yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Coleford with a loan from Leeds Building Society. The sellers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
