Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Weldon is not on my lender's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the standard of the firm’s work?
It would not be wise to jump to that conclusion. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable 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) lack of transactions (2) the lawyer 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 contact the Weldon conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.

Have completed on a a terraced house in Weldon , how long will it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my ownership? My Weldon conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure the land registry aspects are dealt with.
As far as conveyancing in Weldon is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry need to notify any interested parties. As of today roughly three quarters of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Historically registration occurs once the purchaser has moved in to the property so 'speed' is not typically an essential issue but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor must contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
