It has come to my attention via my estate agent that my Tintagel property lawyer is not on the mortgage company Conveyancing panel. What can I do to be certain that this is indeed the case?
The first thing you need to do is to contact your Tintagel conveyancer. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to inform you of the situation. Where they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the conveyancing panel for your bank.
My fiance and I swapping mortgage lender for our penthouse in Tintagel with Lloyds. We have a son 19 who lives with us. Our solicitor requested us to identify any adults other than ourselves who lives in the flat. The solicitor has now sent a form for our son to sign, giving up any rights in the event that the flat is repossessed. I have a couple of concerns (1) Is this document specific to the Lloyds conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we bought 5 years ago (2) In signing this form is our son in any way compromising his right to inherit the property?
First, rest assured that your Lloyds conveyancing panel solicitor is doing the right thing as it is established procedure for any occupier who is aged 17 or over to sign the necessary Consent Form, which is purely to state that any rights he has in the property are postponed and secondary to Lloyds. This is solely used to protect Lloyds if the property were re-possessed so that in such circumstances, your son would be legally obliged to leave. It does not impact your son’s right to inherit the apartment. Please note that if your son were to inherit and the mortgage in favour of Lloyds had not been discharged, he would be liable to take over the loan or pay it off, but other than that, there is nothing stopping him from keeping the property in accordance with your will or the rules of intestacy.
My relative suggested that where I am purchasing in Tintagel I should ask my conveyancer to carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?

It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the local Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the type of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime statistics, Local Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful information concerning Tintagel.
Just bought a detached house in Tintagel , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record my ownership? My Tintagel conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure that my name is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Tintagel registration is no faster or slower than the rest of England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry need to notify any 3rd parties. At present in the region of three quarters of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted delays. Historically registration takes place once the purchaser has moved in to the premises therefore post completion formalities is not typically primary concern but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
