I am not in a position to travel far from Robin Hoods Bay. What is the rationale as to why all Robin Hoods Bay conveyancing practitioners aren't automatically on all lender panels?
Banks tend to restrict either the type or the number of conveyancing solicitors on their approved list of lawyers. A common example of such restriction(s) being that the organisation must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some banks decided to limit the number of practices they allow to act for them. It is worth noting that building societies have no accountability for the quality of conveyancing given by any Robin Hoods Bay solicitor on their approved list. Property fraud was the primary trigger for the reduction of conveyancing panels in the last decade even though there are opposing views about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Data published by HMLR reveal that thousands of law practices only conduct less than three conveyances a year. Those supporting conveyancing panel pruning question why conveyancing firms deserve any entitlement to be listed on a conveyancing panel when it is apparent that conveyancing is not their speciality?

As far as conveyancing in Robin Hoods Bay registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd parties. Currently approximately three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Registration is effected once the buyer is living at the premises therefore 'speed' is not always an essential issue yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
