My Solicitor in Eastcote has never been on on the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society Conveyancing Panel. Can I still use my prefered solicitor even though they are not on the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society list of approved lawyers?
Your options are as follows:
- Carry on with your existing Eastcote solicitors but Norwich and Peterborough Building Society will need to instruct a lawyer on their panel. This will result in additional total conveyancing fees and result in frustration.
- Find an alternative practitioner to act in the conveyancing, remembering to check they are on the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society panel
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as FTB of a ground floor flat in Eastcote. Do I collect the keys to the house on the completion date from my conveyancer? If so, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Eastcote?
On the day of completion you do not need to attend the conveyancers office in Eastcote. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the completion advance to the vendor’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be able to receive the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
Can you point me to a directory of UBS panel conveyancers in Eastcote on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?

The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Eastcote. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I would like to complain about the lender. How do I make a complaint?
All lenders have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Team at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are sorted out very quickly. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service who will take matters further.
I completed on my flat on 7 March and my personal details is not yet on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Eastcote said it would be formalised in less than a month. Are titles in Eastcote particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Eastcote registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any 3rd parties. Currently approximately three quarters of submission are fully dealt with within 12 days but occasionally there can be longer delays. Registration takes place after the purchaser is living at the property therefore an expedited registration is not always top priority but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

I was advised by two or three local property agents in Eastcote to choose a solicitor using your seach tool. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to offer your lawyers ahead of alternative conveyancing organisations?
We refuse to offer any referral fee for directing people in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand a fee as members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
