Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Cleethorpes is not on my bank's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of her work?
That is more than likely a wrong assumption to make. There are plenty of plausible explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator indicated that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should contact the Cleethorpes conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.

I have finally had an offer on an apartment in Cleethorpes agreed to, the owners do however have a connected purchase. The owners have put an offer on on an apartment, however it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other properties in the pipeline. I have instructed a local conveyancing solicitor in Cleethorpes. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Santander started?
It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Cleethorpes conveyancing search costs, etc). The first course of action is to check that your lawyer is on the Santander approved list. Concerning the subsequent stages this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your transaction, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market many buyers would apply for the mortgage with Santander and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their conveyancer to proceed with searches.
I got the keys to my apartment on 10 September and the transaction details are still not registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Cleethorpes advises it will be recorded in less than a month. Are titles in Cleethorpes particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Cleethorpes is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry need to notify any third persons or bodies. At present roughly three quarters of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Historically registration takes place after the buyer has moved in to the premises so 'speed' is not typically top priority yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor should contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Cleethorpes. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.

If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision.
I'm converting the mortgage on my current home to a BTL loan with Halifax and I will use the rest of the raised equity as a deposit on another house. The neighborhood we are interested in is Cleethorpes. Will your conveyancers be able to act for the two lenders and link together the conveyances?

Developers have recommended to me a property lawyer and I've sought an estimate from them. It's nearly two hundred pounds less expensive than my local Cleethorpes lawyer. What's the catch?
Housebuilders normally have lists of property lawyers who are quick and who know the seller’s paperwork and lawyer. Plenty of developers offer an incentive to select a preferred property lawyer for this reason, any increased fees can be avoided and a builder will not put forward a conveyancing warehouse and run the risk of having the transaction stall when they need an exchange within a tight deadline. The argument for not opting for the recommended conveyancing practitioner is that they may prove reluctant to 'push' your interests at the risk of upsetting the housebuilder. Where you have concerns that this may be the situation you should stick with your high street Cleethorpes solicitor.
