We're in Colne, FTBs buying with a mortgage (lender is Barclays , and our solicitor is on the Barclays conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Barclays conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not.

The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared.

My fiance and I have recently had an offer agreed on a house and had an appointment on Tuesday with HSBC for the mortgage. They have informed us that when it comes to choosing a conveyancer that unless they are on their approved list of conveyancing practitioners then we will be subject to an an additional charge of £200. This is is due to the fact that they would then have to select a solicitor to act on their behalf in addition to the one we select for ourselves and we will be on the hook for their costs. I have requested HSBC to supply me with a list so I can obtain quotes only from their approved conveyancers but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. What would be the best way of going about this?
You can enquire of HSBC what their panel criteria is for a conveyancer.Then ask the solicitor of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on loans for HSBC previously. If the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with HSBC. Another option is to utilise our search tool and we may be able to identify a solicitor in Colne on the approved list for HSBC.
