My financial adviser says he needs my Launceston lawyer’ panel reference for the Lloyds conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I discover this. I have tried my local Launceston branch but they have not got back to me yet.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Launceston conveyancer . Most Launceston conveyancing firms will retain a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each bank.
My wife and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Launceston and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed an online conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Launceston. Having lived in Launceston for six years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)
Just acquired a terraced house in Launceston , how long should it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing the transfer to my name? My Launceston conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain that my purchase is recorded.
As far as conveyancing in Launceston registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry need to notify any other parties. As of today in the region of 80% of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Registration is effected once the new owner is living at the property therefore post completion formalities is not always primary concern but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Launceston is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Launceston are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Launceston you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Launceston may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
Is it possible to transfer to a new solicitor as I have to choose one who is on the Coventry Building Society conveyancing list. I hired a family conveyancing solicitor in Launceston round the corner but she is not approved by Coventry Building Society

We have been advised by various family members that it should take six to eight weeks for Launceston conveyancing to complete.This was a month ago. The property information was only sent to my conveyancer yesterday so does the clock start running now?
One should take with some degree of scepticism any promises as to expedited completion times. Instead ask the average timeframe to complete Launceston conveyancing deals and whether they are content to aim towards an agreed target date for your home move in Launceston
