I completed on my house on 5 January and the transaction details is not yet registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Edenthorpe said it would be registered in less than a month. Are transfers in Edenthorpe uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Edenthorpe registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry need to notify any interested persons or bodies. At present roughly three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with within two weeks but some can be subject to protracted delays. Registration occurs once the new owner has moved in to the premises therefore an expedited registration is not usually top priority yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

As with lots of service providers, often suggestions from family and friends can be worth their weight in gold. Nevertheless there are lots of people with a keen interest in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, financial adviser and banks may suggest solicitors to retain. Sometimes the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but occasionally there may be a financial incentive behind the recommendation. You are at liberty to select your own lawyer. Don't forget that many mortgage providers specify a panel list of lawyers you are obliged to use for the lender related work in your house move.
My father-in-law has recommend that I use his conveyancing solicitors in Edenthorpe. Should I choose my own conveyancer?
Much as we are happy to recommend a Edenthorpe conveyancing lawyer it’s preferable to choose a conveyancing solicitor is to have feedback from friends or relatives who have experience in using the firm you're are thinking of instructing.
My 20yr old son is just in the process of moving house, he had his mortgage in principle. One the offer was accepted on flat we telephoned the building society to move forward with his. I was disappointed to hear that mortgage lenders do not accept all conveyancer, they must be on their panel, is this correct?
Mortgage Companies normally restrict either the type or the number of conveyancing practices on their approved list of lawyers. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a firm must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some have decided to limit the number of firms they use to represent them. You should note that lenders have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any Edenthorpe property lawyer on their panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago and whilst there are differing views about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry reveal that thousands of law firms only carry out one or two conveyances a year. Those supporting conveyancing panel cuts ask why law firms should have the right to be on a Lender panel when clearly, conveyancing is not their speciality. To put it another way; would you want a conveyancing solicitor to represent you if you were charged with a crime? Probably not.
