Is the fact that my conveyancer in Thornton is not listed on my lender's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of her conveyancing?
It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of plausible explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator revealed that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should simply call the Thornton conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.
In the event thatI were to acquire a freehold propertyin Thornton for cash and have no survey and no local authority searches how much would I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Thornton?
Any savings you would achieve would be isolated to the Thornton conveyancing searches. A conveyancer still got to do everything else - money laundering, liaising with the vendors property lawyer, stamp duty submission, register the title etc. You might save a bit for them not needing to register a mortgage but it will not be a lot.

Just bought a terraced house in Thornton , how long should it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my title? My Thornton conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to check that my ownership is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Thornton is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry have to notify any interested parties. Currently approximately three quarters of such applications are completed within 12 days but occasionally there can be longer delays. 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 conveyancer can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
I am buying a new build flat in Thornton. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.
Here are examples of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Thornton
-
Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. 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.
We're new to the buying process - had an offer accepted, yet the estate agent informed us that the owners will only move forward if we instruct the agent's chosen lawyers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a local conveyancer used to conveyancing in Thornton
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this request. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine buyer is going to damage their objectives. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to instruct your own,trusted Thornton conveyancing firm - rather thanthe ones that will give the estate agent a referral fee or meet his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by senior management.
