Is it the case that all Hightown CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Nationwide conveyancing list of approved practices?
A selection of lenders now utilise CQS as the starting point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS accreditation however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to remain on their panels.
I had a mortgage agreed in principle with TSB. Hightown conveyancing solicitors have been chosen. How long does it take for TSB to forward the offer to the property lawyer?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have TSB completed the valuation? Have you informed TSB as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the TSB conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I moved into my apartment on 10 March and the transaction details is yet to be on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Hightown said it will be registered in a couple of weeks. Are titles in Hightown particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Hightown registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry have to notify any other persons or bodies. As of today approximately 80% of submission are fully addressed within 12 days but some can be subject to protracted delays. Registration is effected after the buyer is living at the property therefore an expedited registration is not always an essential issue but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I have been advised by a few selling agents in Hightown to locate a property lawyer on your site. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to recommend your services over alternative conveyancing organisations?
We refuse to give any financial incentive for pointing buyers and sellers in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission because members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
