Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Coventry BS. Stanwell conveyancing practitioners are selected. How long does it take for Coventry BS to send the offer to the conveyancing practitioner?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Coventry BS done the survey? Have you informed Coventry BS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Nationwide. Is it usual for Nationwide to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Stanwell is approved on their conveyancing panel? Nationwide have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
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 Nationwide to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
HSBC have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a house in Stanwell has been agreed to, what happens next?
The estate agent will wish to be advised as to your property lawyer's details (ensure that the property lawyers are on the lender’s approved list).

Should commercial conveyancing searches disclose proposed roadworks that may affect a commercial land in Stanwell?
Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Stanwell will conduct a SiteSolutions Highways report as it reduces the time that conveyancers invest in looking into accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Stanwell.

My wife and I own a semi-detached Victorian property in Stanwell. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Virgin Money. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Stanwell and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also enquire as to the situation with your conveyancing solicitor who carried out the work.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Stanwell. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.

Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents.
Am I best advised to use a Stanwell conveyancing lawyer who is local to the property I am buying? I have an old university friend who can conduct the legal formalities however her office is 200kilometers away.
The primary upside of using a local Stanwell conveyancing practice is that you can visit the firm to execute documents, present your identification documents and apply pressure on them where appropriate. They will also have local knowledge which is a benefit. However it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who instructed your friend and they were impressed that should surpass using an unfamiliar Stanwell conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being round the corner.
