We are getting the release of further monies on our home loan from Barclays as we intend to carry out a loft conversion to our home in Yeovil. Do we need to choose a nearby Yeovil solicitor on the Barclays conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?

I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Santander. Is it usual for Santander to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Yeovil is approved on their conveyancing panel? Santander have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.

Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Santander to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Santander conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

Just bought a semi-detached house in Yeovil , how long will it take for the Land Registry to register my proprietorship? My Yeovil conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to check that my name is registered.

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Yeovil registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry need to notify any 3rd persons or bodies. Currently in the region of three quarters of submission are completed within 12 days but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Historically registration takes place after the buyer has moved in to the premises therefore 'speed' is not typically primary concern yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer can speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Yeovil.

My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent advised that the owners will only proceed if we use their recommended lawyers as they need a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Yeovil

It is highly unlikely the owners are behind this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated purchaser is counter productive. Speak to the owners direct and make the point that (a)you are motivated purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to instruct your own,trusted Yeovil conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothe ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a commission or achieve conveyancing thresholds demanded by head office.
