You have limited options available to you. As you are obtaining a home loan with a bank your conveyancer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancing practitioner would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook provisions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Willerby conveyancing searches.

I got the keys to my apartment on 16 February and the transaction details are still not registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Willerby expressed confidence that it will be concluded in a couple of weeks. Are titles in Willerby uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Willerby registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any other parties. Currently roughly three quarters of such applications are completed within two weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Registration occurs once the purchaser has moved in to the premises so 'speed' is not typically top priority but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

Can you provide any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Willerby from the perspective of saving time on the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Willerby can be bypassed where you instruct lawyers the minute your agents start advertising the property and ask them to collate the leasehold information which will be required by the buyers’ solicitors. A minority of Willerby leases require Landlord’s consent to the sale and approval of the buyers. If this applies to your lease, you should place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers obtain bank and professional references. The bank reference should make it clear that the buyer is financially capable of paying the annual service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the purchasers or their solicitors. If you have carried out any alterations to the premises would they have required Landlord’s approval? Have you, for example laid down wooden flooring? Willerby leases often stipulate that internal structural changes or installing wooden flooring calls for a licence issued by the Landlord acquiescing to such alterations. If you dont have the approvals in place do not contact the landlord without contacting your conveyancer first. If there is a history of conflict with your landlord or managing agents it is very important that these are resolved before the property is put on the market. The buyers and their solicitors will be warry about purchasing a property where there is a current dispute. You will have to accept that you will have to discharge any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to completion of the sale. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled prior to the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose particulars of the dispute to the buyers, but it is better to reveal the dispute as historic rather than unresolved.
