I plan on acquiring a flat in Ironbridge. My lawyer is not listed on the lender solicitor list. Is it possible for me to appoint my Ironbridge conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the mortgage company list of approved lawyers?
You have a couple of options open to you here
- Proceed with your existing Ironbridge property lawyer but your bank will need to appoint a solicitor from their approved list. This will result in additional fees together with potential interruption.
- Choose a fresh property lawyer to act in the purchase, making sure they are on the mortgage company conveyancing panel.
- Convince your solicitor to attempt to join the lender panel
I completed on my home on 9 April and the transaction details are still not registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Ironbridge expressed confidence that it would be registered inside ten days. Are transfers in Ironbridge particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Ironbridge registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any third parties. At present roughly 80% of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Historically registration is effected after the purchaser has moved in to the property so 'speed' is not usually primary concern yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers must speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
