Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Marylebone. Is there a reason why all Marylebone property lawyers aren't included on all lender panels?
Lenders ordinarily impose restrictions on either the nature or volume of conveyancing firms on their panel. Frequent examples of such restriction(s) being that the firm needs to have at least two partners. As well as restricting the type of firm, some banks for instance HSBC made a decision to reduce the size of their panel they allow to act for them. You should note that banks have no responsibility for the accuracy of advice supplied by any Marylebone lawyer on their panel. Mortgage fraud was the primary trigger for the culling of conveyancing panels a few years ago notwithstanding that there are opposing views about whether solicitors sat at the center of that fraud. Data published by HM Land Registry reveal that thousands of law practices only carry out a couple of conveyances annually. Those advocating conveyancing panel pruning question why conveyancing firms deserve claim to be listed on a bank panel when clearly conveyancing is not their speciality?

I bought my flat on 13 October and my personal details is not yet registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Marylebone advises it should be concluded inside ten days. Are transfers in Marylebone particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Marylebone registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any third parties. At present roughly three quarters of such applications are completed within two weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Historically registration occurs once the buyer has moved in to the premises therefore an expedited registration is not usually an essential issue but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
