I am under pressure from the mortgagee in possession of a property in Dorking to exchange within four weeks. What can I do to accelerate the conveyancing process?
Where the seller is applying a tight deadline for your conveyancing it is advisable to make sure that your solicitor is familiar with the location as they will make use of local connections and know-how.

I am buying a property in Dorking. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Nationwide have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with Nationwide your lawyer must follow the conveyancing requirements outlined in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Nationwide. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook sets out minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Nationwide where a lease fails to meet these requirements. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not isolated to Dorking.
I am expecting a DIP from Lloyds this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Lloyds recommend any Dorking solicitors on the Lloyds conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Dorking solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Lloyds through the process.

I have recentlydiscovered that Action Conveyancing have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Dorking for a purchase of a freehold house 12 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest method to check if the premises is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Dorking conveyancing specialists.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Dorking I like with open areas and station nearby, however it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Dorking for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
