I am considering applying for a Lloyds mortgage for purchase of a new build (under development) in Langley with 65 per cent loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Lloyds ?
There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Lloyds will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is much more potential for delays and confusion with two solicitors involved, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.
I acquired my apartment on 8 March and my personal details are still not registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Langley expressed confidence that it will be registered in a couple of weeks. Are properties in Langley particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Langley registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any other persons or bodies. Currently approximately 80% of such applications are fully addressed within 12 days but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Registration is effected after the new owner has moved in to the property thus registration formalities is not typically top priority but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
How does conveyancing in Langley differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Langley approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because builders in Langley typically buy the land, 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 property lawyers 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 Langley or who has acted in the same development.

We have been advised by many estate agents to expect 6-8 weeks for Langley conveyancing to complete.This was 3 ago. The paperwork was only received from the vendors lawyer last week so does the time start running now?
You need to be realistic about timescales. Property transactions in Langley usually takes about ten weeks. This time period is not due to lawyer being slow and willfully delay matters. The level of money involved in buying any property is so high, the purchaser's lawyer needing to raise a whole range of queries, searches and other checks to protect the buyer and their lender (if there is to be a home loan) from expensive, avoidable problems. These checks involves seeking information from a range of different parties, for example other conveyancer, local councils, private companies, lenders. Many of these are well organised. Plenty aren't. And remember, it doesn't matter how quickly your lawyer do their job, if the people you are buying from or are selling to aren't ready, nothing can move forward until they are up to speed.
