I am not in a position to travel far from Kirkwhelpington. Can you please spell out why all Kirkwhelpington conveyancers aren't included on all lender panels?
Lenders tend to restrict either the type or the number of conveyancing solicitors on their approved list of lawyers. Frequent examples of such criteria being that a practice must have two or more partners. As well as restricting the nature of firm, some banks such as HSBC decided to reduce the size of their panel they allow to act for them. It is worth noting that banks have no accountability for the quality of advice supplied by any Kirkwhelpington solicitor on their panel. Increases in mortgage fraud was a key driver in the reduction of conveyancing panels in the last decade notwithstanding that there are opposing points of view concerning whether solicitors sat at the center of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry reveal that thousands of conveyancing practices only carry out less than three conveyances annually. Those vindicating conveyancing panel pruning question why conveyancing firms should have claim to be listed on a bank panel when it is evident that property law is not their primary expertise?

My wife and I own a 4 bedroom Georgian house in Kirkwhelpington. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Santander. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the matching property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Kirkwhelpington and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also question the position with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the conveyancing.
How does conveyancing in Kirkwhelpington differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Kirkwhelpington contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because developers in Kirkwhelpington usually purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Kirkwhelpington or who has acted in the same development.
