Please help. My Long Hanborough conveyancer is advising me that he is legally obliged toapply for Long Hanborough conveyancing searches resulting from the fact thatthe firm are on the Lloydssolicitor panel. Do I not have a choice here?
Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. Given that you are taking out a loan with a lender your property lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancing practitioner would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook provisions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Long Hanborough conveyancing searches.
Will conveyancers request an advanced payment when it comes to conveyancing in Long Hanborough?
Where you are retaining lawyers for conveyancing in Long Hanborough your solicitor will request that you put them with monies to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches. Normally this is requested to cover the fees of the conveyancing searches. When the deposit is as part of the purchase price then this should be asked for shortly ahead of contracts are exchanged. The final balance that is due should be transferred a few days prior to the day of completion.
The Long Hanborough conveyancing lawyers that I appointed last week on my purchase in Long Hanborough have suddenly closed. I chose them because I needed a lawyer on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel and my previous Long Hanborough lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take one hundred and fifty pounds for searches. What do I do now?
If you have an estate agent involved then inform them immediately so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. Hopefully they will be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You should appoint new lawyers that are on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new solicitors should be in a position to assist.
Have completed on a a semi-detached house in Long Hanborough , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing the transfer to my name? My Long Hanborough conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be certain that my purchase is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Long Hanborough registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any third persons or bodies. Currently roughly three quarters of submission are completed within two weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Historically registration is effected once the buyer has moved in to the premises thus registration formalities is not usually an essential issue but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

I acquired a property in Long Hanborough last 26/4/2024 and to date it is still not registered with HMLR. It was part of a development site and my solicitor told me that it may take 12 months to complete the registration formalities. I have called HM Land Registry directly and they say that the original application was cancelled due to questions not being addressed in time. Do I need to be concerned?
