I am purchasing a flat in Shifnal. My Conveyancer has never been on on the mortgage company conveyancing list. Can I still appoint my Shifnal conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the bank panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
You will need to instruct a property lawyer to complete the legal work required when you require a mortgage to purchase your home. They will conduct all the appropriate legal checks on the property, ensuring that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the required mortgage documentation is in order. One can instruct a Shifnal solicitor of your choosing. However, where the conveyancing practitioner selected is not on the mortgage company solicitor panel supplemental charges will be levied as separate legal representation will be need by the mortgage company. Bank panel applications can be submitted, so where your solicitor has not historically sought membership they should take the chance to apply.
We hope to to buy with Loughborough BS. I dropped in a few local practices but am struggling to find a Shifnal conveyancing firm on the Loughborough BS panel. Can you help?

I got the keys to my home on 7 January and my personal details is not yet on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Shifnal advises it would be concluded in less than a month. Are titles in Shifnal particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Shifnal 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 must send notices to any interested persons or bodies. At present roughly 80% of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays. Historically registration is effected once the new owner has moved in to the premises thus registration formalities is not usually an essential issue but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I was advised by a few estate agents in Shifnal to locate a solicitor on your site. Is there a financial advantage for Estate Agents to offer your site ahead of alternative conveyancing organisations?
We don’t offer any commission for directing people our way. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission because a client could think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
The estate agent has suggested using their conveyancing practitioner for the conveyancing in Shifnal - won’t it be easier to just instruct them?
You need to establish if the selling agent is recommending a lawyer or introducing to a solicitor. There are plenty of Shifnal estate agents who recommend two or three Shifnal conveyancing firms and get nothing from it.
