We are buying a house and require a conveyancing solicitor in Low Fell who is on the TSB solicitor panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a firm?

I acquired my flat on 3 May and my personal details is not yet on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Low Fell said it should be formalised in a couple of weeks. Are titles in Low Fell particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Low Fell registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any interested persons or bodies. Currently roughly three quarters of submission are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays. Registration is effected after the buyer has moved in to the property thus 'speed' is not always top priority but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Low Fell I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Low Fell for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.

I am purchasing a flat and cash is in place. My solicitor has been handed with two separate forms of photographic identification, bank statement, numerous utility bills.
