I am buying property in Par. My Conveyancer has never been on on the bank solicitor panel. Can I still use my Par conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the lender panel?
You have a number of options available to you here
- Complete the deal with your preferred Par property lawyer but your bank will need to retain a conveyancer from their conveyancing panel. This will result in additional charges together with potential frustration.
- Choose a new conveyancer to conduct the conveyancing, obviously checking they are on the bank conveyancing panel.
- Convince your property lawyer to do everything possible to get accepted on the bank’s panel of solicitors
We are acquiring our first house. Our conveyancer has texted usto enquire if we would like to take out supplemental conveyancing searches. We are really unsure what's recommended for conveyancing in Par
The extent of Par conveyancing searches depends primarily on the property, the location, the probability of any of these risks, your familiarity of the locality and risks, your overall approach to risk. What matters is that you adequately appreciate what information the searches could supply. Then you can make a decision if you personally think you need that search. Should you be unclear, ask your property lawyer to offer guidance.
Have completed on a a detached house in Par , how long will it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my ownership? My Par conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure that my name is recorded.
As far as conveyancing in Par is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than the rest of England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any other parties. As of today roughly 80% of such applications are completed within 12 days but occasionally there can be longer delays. Registration is effected once the purchaser has moved in to the property thus 'speed' is not always primary concern yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Par I like with a park and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Par for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass 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 lawyer about this.

A couple of months ago I was told by my lender that their panel conveyancers operate no move no charge basis for conveyancing in Par. I had a purchase abort yet the lawyers have requested search fees! They are stating that the fees are independent!
Par conveyancing search fees are disbursements not legal fees as these are paid to independent parties.
