Nowadays conveyancing panel lawyers for mortgage companies carry out all of the communications via the post, e-mail or over phone calls.

I had a mortgage agreed in principle with Santander. Cowes conveyancing lawyers are chosen. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Santander?

There is no definitive answer here. Have Santander done the valuation? Have you advised Santander as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Santander conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

Completion of my purchase has taken place for my property in Cowes. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?

All lenders have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Department at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are resolved effectively and efficiently. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR with full details of your complaint.

I purchased my flat on 12 March and the transaction details are still not on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Cowes said it should be registered in less than a month. Are titles in Cowes uniquely lengthy to register?

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Cowes registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any other persons or bodies. At present in the region of three quarters of submission are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Historically registration is effected once the buyer is living at the property thus an expedited registration is not usually top priority yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

Am I better off to use a Cowes conveyancing practitioner based in the area that I am buying? An old friend can handle the legal work but they are based approximately 350kilometers drive away.

The primary upside of using a local Cowes conveyancing firm is that you can attend the office to sign paperwork, hand in your identification documents and pester them if necessary. Having local Cowes know how is a bonus. However it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who used your friend and they were impressed that must trump using an unfamiliar Cowes conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being local.
