As someone not used to the Ravenshead conveyancing process what is the number one tip you can impart for the ownership transfer in Ravenshead
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Ravenshead and elsewhere in England and Wales is an adversarial experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of room for confrontation between you and other parties involved in the transaction. E.g., the vendor, selling agent and sometimes your mortgage company. Selecting a law firm for your conveyancing in Ravenshead is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the process whose role it is to look after your best interests and to keep you safe.
There is a distinct ongoing adversarial element to conveyancing- someone must be blamed for the process being so protracted. We recommend that you must always trust your conveyancer above all other players when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

You should check these issues with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Leeds Building Society. I assume I don't need a Ravenshead solicitor on the Leeds Building Society panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Leeds Building Society mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Leeds Building Society mortgage from the register. Leeds Building Society, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Leeds Building Society has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Leeds Building Society has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I had an offer accepted on a property in Ravenshead on 16/10/2024, valuation was booked 3 days after, all came back fine. Solicitor appointed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Bank of Ireland and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Bank of Ireland to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I bought my flat on 2 June and the transaction details are still not registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Ravenshead said it will be concluded inside ten days. Are properties in Ravenshead particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Ravenshead is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than the rest of the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry need to notify any interested persons or bodies. At present in the region of three quarters of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Historically registration is effected after the buyer is living at the premises so an expedited registration is not typically top priority yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
