Much to our surprise we have been notified by our mortgage adviser that my St James solicitor is not on the bank Conveyancing panel. What can I do to check?
You need to call your St James lawyer directly. You lawyer should advise you what has happened. If they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the conveyancing panel for your bank.
Do banks and building societies provide you with an approved list of St James conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel?

What will a local search tell me concerning the property I am buying in St James?

The search should provide information on, amongst other things, details on planning applications relevant to the premises (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of 13 topic areas.
I purchased my apartment on 6 March and the transaction details are still not on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in St James said it will be registered in a couple of weeks. Are titles in St James uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in St James registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any other persons or bodies. At present roughly three quarters of submission are fully dealt with within two weeks but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Historically registration is effected once the buyer is living at the premises so 'speed' is not always primary concern yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
