Much to our surprise we have been notified by our mortgage broker that my Dosthill solicitor is not on the bank Solicitor panel. What can I do to be certain that this is indeed the case?
The sensible course of action for you to take is to contact your Dosthill conveyancer. You lawyer should inform you what has happened. Where they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the approved list of lawyers for your bank.
When will exchange of contracts take place for residential conveyancing in Dosthill and do I need to attend the conveyancers branch?
Where you are near to our conveyancing solicitors in Dosthill you are invited in to sign documents. However, the firms we work with offer a countrywide conveyancing service and provide just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The signing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract simply enables the firm to officially exchange at the suitable time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Dosthill)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
Have purchased a a terraced house in Dosthill , how long should it take for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Dosthill conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain the registration is concluded.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Dosthill registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any interested parties. At present roughly 80% of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Registration takes place once the new owner is living at the premises thus 'speed' is not always primary concern but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

I am a negotiator for a reputable estate agent office in Dosthill where we have experienced a few leasehold sales derailed as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received conflicting advice from local Dosthill conveyancing solicitors. Please can you clarify whether the owner of a flat can start the lease extension formalities for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
Provided that the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the buyer need not have to wait 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or at the same time as completion of the sale.
An alternative approach is to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.
