I sincerely hope you can assist me. My Lyddington solicitor is assuring me that he has toorder Lyddington conveyancing searches becausethe firm are on the HSBCapproved lawyer panel. Do I not have any options here?
You have limited options available to you. Given that you are taking out a loan with a mortgage company your 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 bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook specifications . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Lyddington conveyancing searches.
Do all mortgage companies provide you with an approved list of Lyddington conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the Santander conveyancing panel?

Just acquired a semi-detached house in Lyddington , how long will it take for the Land Registry to record my ownership? My Lyddington conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to check the land registry aspects are dealt with.
As far as conveyancing in Lyddington registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry need to notify any other parties. At present roughly three quarters of submission are fully dealt with within 12 days but some can be subject to protracted delays. Registration is effected once the purchaser is living at the property so 'speed' is not typically top priority but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor must speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Lyddington I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Lyddington for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
Do I need to pop into the offices of the mortgage company conveyancing panel solicitor to execute the legal charge? If so, I will appoint a lawyer who conducts conveyancing in Lyddington as it will be easier to attend their offices if required.
