Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Principality. Shepherd's Bush conveyancing practitioners have been selected. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Principality?

There is no definitive answer here. Have Principality done the survey? Have you informed Principality as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Principality conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

Me and my brother purchased a terraced Georgian house in Shepherd's Bush. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Clydesdale. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same property. Is it worth asking Clydesdale to clarify?

You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Shepherd's Bush and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also enquire as to the situation with your conveyancing practitioner who carried out the work.

Am I better off to instruct a Shepherd's Bush conveyancing lawyer in close proximity to the house I am purchasing? I have an old university friend who can handle the legal work but his firm is located approximately 350kilometers drive away.

The benefit of a high street Shepherd's Bush conveyancing firm is that you can drop in to sign paperwork, hand in your identification documents and apply pressure on them if necessary. Having local Shepherd's Bush know how is a plus. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If other friends have used your friend and in the main were happy that must surpass using an unknown Shepherd's Bush conveyancing lawyer just because they are round the corner.

I have been informed by numerous estate agents to expect 6-8 weeks for Shepherd's Bush conveyancing to complete.This was a month ago. The draft contract was only received from the vendors conveyancing practitioner a couple of days ago so does the time start running now?

You should be realistic about timescales. Conveyancing in Shepherd's Bush takes on average about two months. This timeframe is not due to lawyer being slow and deliberately delay matters. The amount of money involved in buying any property is so high, the purchaser's solicitor having to raise a wide range of enquiries, searches and other checks to protect the purchaser and their mortgage company (if there is to be a mortgage) from expensive, avoidable problems. Conveyancing in Shepherd's Bush involves seeking information from an array of different parties, including other property lawyer, local councils, private companies, building societies and banks. Many of these are efficient. Others are not. Finally, no matter how quickly your property lawyer do their work, if the people you are buying from or are selling to aren't ready, nothing can go ahead until they are up to speed.
