We are purchasing a 2 bedroom apartment in Rogerstone with a mortgage. We like our Rogerstone conveyancer, but the lender says she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the bank panel solicitors or keep our Rogerstone conveyancing practitioner and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. We regard this is inequitable; can we not require that the bank use our Rogerstone solicitor ?
No, not really. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your Rogerstone conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

Have purchased a a terraced house in Rogerstone , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register my ownership? My Rogerstone 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 Rogerstone registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any 3rd persons or bodies. Currently approximately three quarters of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Historically registration takes place once the buyer is living at the premises thus an expedited registration is not usually an essential issue but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer should contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
