Me and my partner are purchasing a 2 bedroom flat in Wenvoe with a mortgage. We would like to retain our Wenvoe lawyer, however the mortgage company says she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the lender panel conveyancing practices or continue with our Wenvoe conveyancing practitioner and pay for one of their panel lawyers to act for them. This feels very unfair; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your Wenvoe conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
I am purchasing a semi-detached house in Wenvoe. Can I do my own conveyancing?
Leaving aside the complexities and merits of DIY conveyancing in Wenvoe you will have to appoint a solicitor on your bank's conveyancing panel to look after their interests. Most people therefore find it easier to let the solicitor act for them and the lender. Furthermore there is minimal cost savings to be made in you doing conveyancing for yourself and another lawyer conducting the conveyancing for the lender.

I am planning to move home in November. Will my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you suggest a removal company in Wenvoe. Conveyancing lawyer was found before I stumbled across your page.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from your selling agent however this can only occur when the previous owners solicitors advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be collected. You will need to inform the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal organisation but can help you choose a conveyancing in Wenvoe or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in Wenvoe.
I happen to be the sole recipient of my late mum's estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Wenvoe. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in August. I want to move. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship will be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the house in August. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook requires conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be impacted by that. many lenders would take a practical view as this requirement is chiefly there to capture subsales or the quick reselling of properties.
When it comes to mortgage companies such as Nottingham, do Wenvoe solicitors have to pay an annual charge to be on the conveyancing panel?
We are unaware of any bank fees to be on their list of approved firms, although some do charge an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.
Have completed on a a semi-detached house in Wenvoe , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my proprietorship? My Wenvoe conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to check that my ownership is registered.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Wenvoe registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any third persons or bodies. Currently roughly three quarters of submission are fully addressed within 12 days but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Historically registration takes place after the new owner has moved in to the property therefore registration formalities is not always top priority but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

Is there a difference between surveying and conveyancing in Wenvoe?
Conveyancing - in Wenvoe or elsewhere - is the legal term given to transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It therefore includes the investigation of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you are buying and will help you discover the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you a powerful reason for negotiating the purchase price down or asking the seller to fix the defects prior to you move in.
