My flat in Hucknall is up for sale and I have a buyer. Does the solicitor need to be on the TSB conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the TSB conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their requirements fairly frequently at the moment.
Just acquired a terraced house in Hucknall , how long should it take for the Land Registry to record my title? My Hucknall conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to check the land registry aspects are dealt with.
As far as conveyancing in Hucknall registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any other parties. At present approximately three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with within 12 days but some can be subject to protracted delays. Historically registration takes place after the new owner is living at the premises thus an expedited registration is not always an essential issue but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
