My fiance and I wish to acquire a 3 bedroom flat in Long Stratton with a homeloan from Norwich and Peterborough Building Society.We like our Long Stratton conveyancing practitioner but Norwich and Peterborough Building Society informed us she’s not on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a Norwich and Peterborough Building Society panel solicitor or keep our preferred solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?

Unfortunately,no. The home loan issued to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that conveyancers needs to be on the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society approved list. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice.

Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any interested parties.

Registration takes place after the purchaser has moved in to the premises therefore post completion formalities is not typically top priority but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

Assuming the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Long Stratton - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
