Have completed on a a semi-detached house in Whitley Bay , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register my proprietorship? My Whitley Bay conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be certain the registration is addressed.

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Whitley Bay registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any other persons or bodies.

My husband and I are novice buyers - agreed a price, yet the estate agent informed us that the vendor will only issue a contract if we appoint their chosen conveyancers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family conveyancer used to conveyancing in Whitley Bay

We suspect that the owner is unaware of this ultimatum. If they require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious buyer is counter productive. Try to communicate with the owners directly and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to appoint your preferred Whitley Bay conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothose that will give their negotiator at the agency a kickback or achieve conveyancing figures demanded by HQ.

I today become aware that one of the directors of the firm undertaking the purchase conveyancing in Whitley Bay is a relative of the vendor. Is this allowed?

On the basis that no conflict arises this should be fine. Where you are obtaining a home loan then the lender may have a say as many banks have specific instructions on this. For example for RBS- First Active as of 18/2/2026, the requirements read as follows :

1.15- May your firm act if the person dealing with the transaction or a member of his immediate family is the borrower?

No, your firm may not act if the person dealing with the transaction or a member of his immediate family is the borrower. However, your firm may act if a separate fee earner or separate partner within the firm acts for us.
