In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Walsall? Why is this being asked of me?
You are right in these requests have nothing to do with conveyancing in Walsall. Nowadays you will not be able to proceed with any conveyancing transaction if you have not handing over evidence of your identity. Ordinarily this takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence plus a utility bill.

Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Clydesdale. Walsall conveyancing practitioners have been selected. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Clydesdale?

After what seems like an age I have had an offer on a flat in Walsall accepted, the sellers do nevertheless have a tied purchase. The sellers have offered on on an apartment, but it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other flats in the pipeline. I have instructed a local conveyancing solicitor in Walsall. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with TSB going?
It is normal to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Walsall conveyancing search charges, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your conveyancing practitioner is on the TSB approved list. Regarding the subsequent stages this very much dictated by the specifics of your transaction, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market many purchasers would apply for the mortgage with TSB and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their conveyancer to press on with searches.
I got the keys to my house on 6 June and the transaction details is yet to be on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Walsall advises it will be formalised in less than a month. Are titles in Walsall particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Walsall registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any interested parties. At present roughly three quarters of such applications are fully addressed within 12 days but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Registration is effected once the new owner is living at the property therefore registration formalities is not usually primary concern 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.
