Some advice if I may. My West London conveyancer is advising me that she is duty bound toorder West London conveyancing searches asthe firm are on the Virgin Moneyconveyancing panel. These West London searches cost a lot of money can this be avoided?
Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. Given that you are taking out a loan with a lender your property lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the CML Handbook provisions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out West London conveyancing searches.
Are the West London conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the Nationwide conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by Nationwide?

As far as conveyancing in West London registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any third parties. At present roughly three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with within two weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Historically registration is effected after the new owner is living at the property thus registration formalities is not usually primary concern but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

At last I have had an offer on an apartment in West London agreed to, but there is a chain. The current proprietors have offered on a property, although it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other apartments booked. I have selected a nearby conveyancing solicitor in West London. What do I do now? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Bank of Ireland?
It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, West London conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your property lawyer is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Concerning the next stages this very much depends on the specifics of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market the majority of home buyers would apply for the mortgage with Bank of Ireland and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their property lawyer to move forward with the conveyancing in West London.
