My husband and I are planning to acquire a home in East and West Horsley and have instructed a East and West Horsley conveyancing firm. Within the last couple of days our property lawyer has forwarded the sale agreement to be signed with a detailed report with a view to exchanging next week. Platform Home Loans Ltd have this evening contacted us to advise us that they have now hit a problem as our East and West Horsley solicitor is not on their conveyancing panel. Is this a problem?
When purchasing a property with the benefit of a mortgage it is conventional for the purchasers' solicitors to also act for the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your solicitor should contact your lender and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You don't have to instruct a firm on the bank's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own East and West Horsley solicitors, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it may delay matters as you have another set of people involved.

As far as conveyancing in East and West Horsley is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any interested parties. As of today roughly 80% of submission are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Registration occurs after the purchaser has moved in to the property so an expedited registration is not usually top priority but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor should contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in East and West Horsley. Before I set the wheels in motion I want to be sure as to the remaining lease term.
Assuming the lease is registered - and almost all are in East and West Horsley - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
