Recently been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Crowle who acted for me 18 months ago asking for a conveyancing costs illustration based on the same type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold property and a freehold premises) of similar values with a home loan from Bank of Scotland. I am now being quoted twice the amount. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for an alternative conveyancer?

This question may be naive but I am wet behind the ears as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Crowle. Do I receive the keys to the house on the completion date from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Crowle?

It is not clear whether my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Crowle building society branch on a couple of occasions and was reassured it wasn't an issue and they will lend. My Crowle conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called and was told they refuse to lend based on their published requirements. I have no idea who is right.
Provided that the property lawyer is on the lender approved list, they must follow the CML Handbook conditions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
I got the keys to my home on 5 January and the transaction details is not yet on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Crowle said it should be recorded in a couple of weeks. Are titles in Crowle particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Crowle registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any interested parties. Currently roughly 80% of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Registration is effected once the buyer is living at the property so 'speed' is not typically primary concern yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
How do I use your search app to select a conveyancing solicitor in Crowle on the approved list for my lender?

Is it necessary during the course of the conveyancing process to visit the offices of the bank conveyancing panel solicitor to execute the mortgage deed? If so, I will instruct a firm who offer conveyancing in Crowle so that I can pop in to their offices when needed.
Whereas this was necessary 12 years ago, most lenders no longer require their conveyancing panel solicitor to witness the borrowers signature. You will still be obliged to provide ID Documents and there are still distinct advantages to using a local solicitor, in your case a conveyancing solicitor in Crowle.
