I have given 2 months notice to my current landlord and must be out of my rented apartment in Cudham by 19/6/2024. Conveyancing for my house purchase is progressing. Is it possible to complete in six weeks as I wish to avoid having to move into short term accommodation?
The normal practice is not to serve notice on a rental until you have exchanged. Assuming that you have not already done so, speak to your conveyancer and ask them to they seek the assistance the other lawyers, try to an agreed time frame that everyone will work towards
We expect to receive a AIP from Santander this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Santander recommend any Cudham solicitors on the Santander conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Cudham solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Santander conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Santander through the process.
I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Barclays. Is it usual for Barclays to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Cudham is approved on their conveyancing panel? Barclays have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Barclays to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Barclays conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
TSB have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on a flat in Cudham has been accepted, what are the next steps?
The estate agent will need to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the solicitors are on the bank’s panel). Call up TSB or your financial adviser and finish off any outstanding paperwork. TSB will sellect a valuer who will get in touch with the estate agent or seller to schedule an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about a fortnight for the mortgage offer to be issued. TSB will send the offer to you and your lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Cudham.
I have been told that property searches are the main cause of delay in Cudham conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published determinations of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the most frequent causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Local searches are unlikely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in Cudham.
It has been five months since my purchase conveyancing in Cudham completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

We are 3 weeks into a residential purchase having been referred to conveyancers by the estate agent to perform conveyancing in Cudham. I am am very disappointed with the quality of service. Can you help me find new solicitors?
They would have to be very bad in order to consider replacing them. Has the mortgage offer been sent? In the event that it has you must make them aware of the new contact details and have the mortgage documents are re-issued. The solicitor ideally should be on the mortgage company approved list to avoid supplemental expenses and frustration. That should be your starting point.
