Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Mapperley. Is there a reason why all Mapperley property lawyers aren't included on all mortgage company panels?
Banks point to the fact that solicitor-led fraud is considered to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud annually.The elimination of law firms from lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the FSA in 2011. Its outcome included recommendations for lending institutions to review their conveyancing panels, which triggered a major policy change in the sector. This resulted in banks and building societies pruning a number of firms off their books of approved conveyancing practitioners .
Last May we completed a house move in Mapperley. We have noticed several problems with the house which we believe were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? What searches should? have been ordered as part of conveyancing in Mapperley?
The query is vague as what problems have arisen and if they are unique to conveyancing in Mapperley. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated during the legal transfer of property are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the process, the vendor answers a form called a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information turns out to be misleading, then you may have a claim against the owner for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Mapperley.

I am buying a detached bungalow in Mapperley. Our aim is to carry out an extension to the side at the property.Will the conveyancing process involve enquiries to ascertain if these works are allowed?
Your property lawyer should review the registered title as conveyancing in Mapperley will sometimes reveal restrictions in the title documents which prevent certain works or need the consent of another owner. Certain additions call for local authority planning permissions and approval in compliance with building regulations. Many areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
Intending to buy a house in Mapperley. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Principality conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Mapperley solicitor is on the Principality conveyancing panel.

Have purchased a a terraced house in Mapperley , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing the transfer to my name? My Mapperley conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be certain that my ownership is registered.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Mapperley registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry have to notify any 3rd persons or bodies. As of today in the region of 80% of such applications are completed within 12 days but occasionally there can be longer delays. Registration takes place once the purchaser has moved in to the premises so an expedited registration is not typically an essential issue but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
