I can't travel far from Cubitt Town. Please clarify why all Cubitt Town solicitors aren't included on all mortgage company panels?
As inequitable as it may seem for banks to restrict who can represent them, from the public’s or solicitor’s point of view, the flip side is that lenders are becoming ever more anxious and consider it imperative to protect them from mortgage fraud. As a consequence of this concern banks have restricted their conveyancing panel to a size that they are happy to control.

How does conveyancing in Cubitt Town differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Cubitt Town approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because builders in Cubitt Town typically purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Cubitt Town or who has acted in the same development.

As with many professional services, often input from family and friends can be extremely useful or valuable. But there are lots of players in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, mortgage brokers and banks may recommend solicitors to retain. Sometimes the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but occasionally there might be a commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You have the discretion to appoint your own conveyancer. Don't forget that many mortgage providers operate an approved list of law firms you have to use for the lender aspect of your home move.
My step-mother completed her conveyancing in Cubitt Town in 2007. She has been married, divorced and is now remarried. She now wants to dispose of the Cubitt Town property. I believe she will simply be requested to provide a copy of her marriage papers to the conveyancing practitioner but she is worried it could delay the sale of the property. Is it worth updating the Land Registry details for the property?
You are not required to bring up to date the title for the property as long as you have the proof required to show how the name change occurred.
The buyer’s lawyer should review the land registry details and requisition evidence to prove the name change for example marriage documentation.
