I have given 8 weeks notice to my existing landlord and must leave my rented flat in Kingsbridge by the end of next month. Conveyancing on my purchase is progressing. Is it possible to complete in a couple of weeks as don't want to have to find short term accommodation?
Generally one should not give notice for your lease unless exchange of contracts has taken place. If you have not previously done so, contact to your solicitor and ask them to they chase the sellers side, try to get a realistic time scale from them that all parties will work to achieve
I am considering applying for a Bank of Ireland mortgage for purchase of a new build (under development) in Kingsbridge with 60% loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Bank of Ireland ?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel, but Bank of Ireland would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.
Have completed on a a semi-detached house in Kingsbridge , how long will it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing the transfer to my name? My Kingsbridge conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to check the registration formalities are dealt with.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Kingsbridge registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry have to notify any interested parties. Currently in the region of 80% of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Historically registration occurs once the purchaser has moved in to the premises therefore 'speed' is not usually top priority but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

My father-in-law mentioned that before choosing a conveyancing solicitors they must be approved by your lender. It happens to be my first house move but I have an offer in principle from HSBC and I already have a local conveyancing solicitor in Kingsbridge on standby. Will HSBC insist on an approved lawyer to be selected? If so, where do I find that list for my conveyancing in Kingsbridge?
You should choose a solicitor that is on the HSBC panel. Just call your chosen Kingsbridge conveyancing lawyer and ask if they are on the HSBC panel. If they are not approved you have a number of choices open to you here:
- Carry on with your preferred Kingsbridge solicitor but HSBC will need to instruct a property lawyer from their conveyancing panel. The net impact is additional charges and probable interruption.
- Appoint a new property lawyer to act in the purchase, ensuring that they are on the HSBC conveyancing panel.
- Convince your lawyer to seek to join the bank panel.
