We're in Llanfechain, First time buyers purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Virgin Money , and our solicitor is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no property lawyer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
I have been told that property searches are the number one reason for stalling in Llanfechain house deals. Is this right?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released findings of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the most frequent causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Searches are not likely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Llanfechain.
Have completed on a a terraced house in Llanfechain , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My Llanfechain conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to check the registration formalities are addressed.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Llanfechain registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry need to notify any interested parties. Currently in the region of 80% of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Registration takes place once the buyer is living at the premises so an expedited registration is not typically top priority yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Llanfechain is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Llanfechain are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Llanfechain you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Llanfechain may determine 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.

My wife and I have selected a Llanfechain conveyancing solicitor for our house purchase (first time buyers) and have picked up in the Ts and Cs that they are not governed by the FCA. Am I right to be concerned or is that the norm with solicitor?
We can't see why they should be. Most solicitor don't lend money. You should check that they are regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, who set stringent rules in relation to amounts sitting in their bank.
