I am expecting a offer of a home loan from Lloyds. My intention is to employ the services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Walthamstow Village. Does the Lloyds Conveyancing panel include conveyancers regulated by the CLC?

After much negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Walthamstow Village. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an upfront payment of £225. A few days later, the conveyancer contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Nottingham 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 Nottingham 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.
Clydesdale have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a house in Walthamstow Village has been accepted, what are the next steps?
Your property agent will need to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the property lawyers are on the lender’s panel). Telephone Clydesdale or the financial adviser and finalise any outstanding forms. Clydesdale will sellect a valuer who will get in contact with the selling agent or seller to arrange a time for the valuation to occur. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about ten days for the mortgage offer to be issued. Clydesdale will issue the offer to you and your conveyancing practitioners. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Walthamstow Village.
At last I have had an offer on a flat in Walthamstow Village agreed to, the owners do however have an associated purchase. The owners have placed an offer on on an apartment, however it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other properties booked. I have selected a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Walthamstow Village. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Aldermore going?
It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Walthamstow Village conveyancing search fees, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your lawyer is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. As to the next phase this very much dictated by the specifics of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. In a hot market some home buyers will apply for the mortgage with Aldermore and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their conveyancing practitioner to proceed with searches.
I completed on my apartment on 16 May and the transaction details are still not registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Walthamstow Village advises it should be concluded in less than a month. Are properties in Walthamstow Village particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Walthamstow Village registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry have to notify any 3rd persons or bodies. At present roughly 80% of submission are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Historically registration takes place after the buyer has moved in to the property so 'speed' is not typically top priority but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

I have recently realised that I have Sixty One years left on my flat in Walthamstow Village. I now want to get lease extension but my landlord is missing. What options are available to me?
If you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for for permission to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be extended by the magistrate. However, you will be required to prove that you have done all that could be expected to locate the landlord.
