Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Maida Vale. I would like to know the reason why all Maida Vale property lawyers aren't automatically on all bank panels?
Before the recession most mortgage companies had an approach to risk which differs from the current day. The financial regulator in 2010 carried out a thematic review into property fraud which concluded: know the conveyancers on your panel. As a result, mortgage companies have since looked to extract more data from law firms regarding their processes and the individuals employed by them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum number of transactions. Thousands of firms have been removed from lender panels even though they had 100% healthy disciplinary record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Such firms found it impossible satisfy the minimum volume of transactions the mortgage companies set.

Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Co-operative. Maida Vale conveyancing practitioners are selected. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Co-operative?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Co-operative done the valuation? Have you advised Co-operative as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Co-operative conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
Have purchased a a detached house in Maida Vale , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my ownership? My Maida Vale conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure the registration is addressed.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Maida Vale registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any third persons or bodies. Currently roughly 80% of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Registration takes place once the purchaser is living at the premises therefore an expedited registration is not usually an essential issue yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Maida Vale with a mortgage from Barclays . The developers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Maida Vale is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can give?

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.
I own a leasehold flat in Maida Vale. Conveyancing and HSBC Bank mortgage organised. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the reversionary interest in the property.

It is not necessary to instruct a Maida Vale conveyancing firm to do this as it can be done on-line for a few pound. You should note that in any event, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
