A few days later, the solicitor contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the UBS conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the UBS panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
Just acquired a detached house in Tickhill , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Tickhill conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure that my ownership is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Tickhill is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any other parties. At present approximately 80% of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays. Historically registration is effected after the buyer has moved in to the property so registration formalities is not typically an essential issue yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
How does conveyancing in Tickhill differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Tickhill contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because developers in Tickhill tend to acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Tickhill or who has acted in the same development.
