I am selling my home in Maidenbower. Will the lawyer have to be on the Co-operative conveyancing panel in order to deal with repayment of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Co-operative conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their requirements fairly frequently in recent years.
I have been told that property searches are the primary reason for stalling in Maidenbower house deals. Is this right?

Just acquired a semi-detached house in Maidenbower , how long should it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my ownership? My Maidenbower conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be certain that my purchase is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Maidenbower registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry have to notify any other parties. As of today in the region of three quarters of such applications are fully addressed within two weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Historically registration occurs once the purchaser is living at the premises thus 'speed' is not always top priority yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
