I plan on buying property in Brownhills. My property lawyer has never been on on the lender conveyancing panel. Am I still permitted to use my Brownhills conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the mortgage company approved list?
You have numerous alternatives open to you here
- Complete the purchase with your preferred Brownhills lawyer but your mortgage company will need to appoint a lawyer from their approved panel. This will result in additional charges together with likely delay.
- Appoint a new lawyer to act in the purchase, ensuring that they are on the bank conveyancing panel.
- Convince your conveyancer to do everything within their powers to join the bank’s conveyancing panel
My grandson is in the process of securing a newly built flat in Brownhills with a mortgage from UBS. His conveyancer has said that there is a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. Who needs to receive the form?
The document is intended to provide information to the main parties involved in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the UBS conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when requested. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the UBS conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

I got the keys to my house on 5 May and the transaction details are still not on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Brownhills advises it should be registered in less than a month. Are transfers in Brownhills particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Brownhills registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd parties. At present roughly 80% of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Historically registration is effected once the buyer has moved in to the property so an expedited registration is not always top priority but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
I'm refinancing my primary home to a BTL mortgage with Birmingham Midshires and intend to use the remaining equity as a down payment on further property. The location we are looking at is Brownhills. Will your lawyers be able to act for the two lenders and tie in the conveyances?

I have been told by various estate agents to expect up to two months for Brownhills conveyancing to complete.This was a month ago. The paperwork was only forwarded from the vendors conveyancing practitioner last week so does the time start running now?
Don't count on moving on a certain date until contracts are exchanged. Whatever assurances the people you are purchasing from or selling to make, or your financial adviser gives don't rely on them. More frustration is caused to buyers and sellers by unfulfilled assurances than anything else.
