We're in Earls Court, First timers purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Clydesdale , and our solicitor is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancing practitioner should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Earls Court. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How do I make a complaint?
Most lenders have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Department at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are sorted out very quickly. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR who will take matters further.
I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in May 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Yorkshire BS are being a right pain. The Earls Court solicitor who is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Yorkshire BS are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Yorkshire BS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Yorkshire BS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Yorkshire BS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Co-operative have agreed my mortgage in principle, my bid on a property in Earls Court has been accepted, now what?
The estate agent will need to be informed of your conveyancer's details (make sure the lawyers are on the bank’s panel). Contact Co-operative or your broker and complete any relevant forms. Co-operative will appoint a valuer who will get in contact with the selling agent or vendor to book an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes about a fortnight for the mortgage offer to be issued. Co-operative will issue the offer to you and your conveyancing practitioners. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Earls Court.
The deeds to our house are lost. The conveyancers who handled the conveyancing in Earls Court 5 years ago are no longer around. Will I be able to sell the house?
Nowadays there are copies made of almost everything, and your lawyer should be aware precisely where to find all the suitable paperwork so you may purchase or dispose of your property without a hitch.

My husband and I are new on the property ladder - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent told us that the vendor will only go ahead if we use the agent's recommended solicitors as they want an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a high street solicitor used to conveyancing in Earls Court
It is highly unlikely the sellers are behind this. Should the owner require ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Try to communicate with the vendors directly and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to use your preferred Earls Court conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a kickback or meet his conveyancing figures set by corporate headquarters.
