Me and my husband are buying a ground floor flat in Harmondsworth. My Solicitor is not on the mortgage company approved panel. Am I still permitted to continue with my Harmondsworth conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the lender approved list?
You must appoint a lawyer to deal with the formalities when you take out a mortgage to buy your property. The conveyancer will carry out all the appropriate due diligence on the property, make sure that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the necessary mortgage documentation is in place. You may instruct a Harmondsworth property lawyer of your choice. However, where the lawyer selected is not a member of the lender approved list further costs will be incurred as separate legal representation will be need by the mortgage company. Bank panel applications can be submitted, so if your solicitor has not previously applied for membership they can do so.
Just bought a detached house in Harmondsworth , how long will it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my title? My Harmondsworth conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to check that my name is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Harmondsworth is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any other persons or bodies. At present roughly three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with within 12 days but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Registration occurs after the purchaser is living at the premises so an expedited registration is not always primary concern yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.
