Much to our surprise we have been told by our estate agent that my Goodwick solicitor is not on the bank Solicitor panel. What can I do to check?

Just bought a terraced house in Goodwick , how long will it take for the Land Registry to record my proprietorship? My Goodwick conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be certain the registration is dealt with.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Goodwick registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any interested persons or bodies. Currently roughly 80% of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Registration takes place after the buyer is living at the premises therefore an expedited registration is not typically primary concern yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on last month in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Goodwick is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Goodwick are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Goodwick you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Goodwick may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
Am I better off to use a Goodwick conveyancing lawyer in close proximity to the house I am purchasing? An old friend can execute the legal formalities however his firm is located over three hundred miles drive away.
The benefit of a local Goodwick conveyancing practice is that you can drop in to sign paperwork, present your identification documents and pester them where appropriate. Having local Goodwick know how is a plus. That being said it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If other friends have used your friend and in the main were content that should surpass using an unknown Goodwick conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being Goodwick based.
There are plenty of properties in Goodwick on private roads. We are acquiring one such house. What are the pros and cons of purchasing a property on a private road?
Goodwick conveyancing practices will be used to conveyancing propertieson unadopted roads. The property lawyer should investigate Land Registry data to find any rights or liabilities. It is possible that there is a residents association that owners make annual payments for the upkeep of the road. If one exists, the road should be maintained and look nicer than publicly owned.
