As I am unsure how the conveyancing process works what is the most important advice you can give me about purchase conveyancing in Lechlade?
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Lechlade or throughout Gloucestershire is an adversarial process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of opportunity for confrontation between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. E.g., the vendor, property agent and sometimes the lender. Appointing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Lechlade should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the legal process whose role it is to protect your legal interests and to keep you safe.
We are witnessing a definite ongoing adversarial element to conveyancing- someone must be blamed for the process being so protracted. We recommend that you should always trust your solicitor ahead of the other players when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Barclays. Lechlade conveyancing lawyers are chosen. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Barclays?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Barclays conducted the survey? Have you informed Barclays as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Barclays conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with HSBC. I assume I don't need a Lechlade property lawyer on the HSBC panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your HSBC mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the HSBC mortgage from the register. HSBC, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where HSBC has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- HSBC has instructed the Land Registry to do so
