A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Clydesdale to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

Just bought a terraced house in Clophill , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record my ownership? My Clophill conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to check that my purchase is registered.

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Clophill registration formalities.

As of today approximately 80% of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Registration is effected once the purchaser is living at the premises so 'speed' is not typically primary concern yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor should contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Clophill is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Clophill are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses.

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
