My partner and I are acquiring an apartment in Consett. My Conveyancer is not on the lender conveyancing list. Is it possible for me to continue with my Consett conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the mortgage company approved list?
Your options include
- Complete the deal with your existing Consett conveyancer but your mortgage company will undoubtedly retain a conveyancing practitioner on their approved list. This will result in additional charges together with potential interruption.
- Appoint a new solicitor to conduct the conveyancing, obviously checking they are on the bank conveyancing panel.
- Convince your solicitor to seek to join the bank panel

I'm the single recipient of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Consett. The Consett property was put into my name in May. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in May. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The CML handbook requires solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you may be caught by that. Some banks would take a sensible view as this obligation is principally there to identify subsales or the quick reselling of property.

Unfortunately not yet. There is no such directory service on the CML or Building Society Association websites. A small selection of lenders make their panel listings visible over the internet. If you are seeking to appoint a Consett conveyancing practitioner on the Lloyds please use our tool.
Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Yorkshire BS. Consett conveyancing solicitors have been selected. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Yorkshire BS?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Yorkshire BS conducted the survey? Have you informed Yorkshire BS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
Just acquired a terraced house in Consett , how long should it take for the Land Registry to register my ownership? My Consett conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be certain the land registry aspects are dealt with.
As far as conveyancing in Consett is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than the rest of the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any interested parties. At present in the region of 80% of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Registration is effected once the new owner has moved in to the property thus an expedited registration is not usually an essential issue 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 an expedited registration.
