Is it realistic for conveyancing in Duston to be completed in less than 3 weeks?
Where the seller is applying a tight deadline for your conveyancing it is highly recommended that your conveyancer is familiar with the location as they will have local contacts and intelligence. It is possible that they could have handled otherhomes in the same road. Therefore consider using a Duston conveyancing lawyer. Second, make sure that the conveyancing firm is on the lender panel. It is claimed that nearly one in five of Duston conveyancing transactions are delayed or jeopardised after finding out that a purchaser’s lawyer was not on their banks list of approved solicitors. In many cases this discovery resulted in the transaction being frustrated by an average of 21 days. It is claimed that this issue impacts in the region of 100,000 home sales annually. Many Duston conveyancing practices can not act for certain mortgage companies so do check at the outset.

My fiance and I decided to purchase a newly converted flat in Duston with a residential mortgage from TSB.We have a Duston conveyancing lawyer but TSB says she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint a TSB panel lawyer or keep our high street solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that TSB use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The loan issued to you contains various provisions, a common one being that solicitors will be on the TSB solicitor panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for TSB

I completed on my home on 4 November and the transaction details is yet to be registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Duston expressed confidence that it will be formalised in less than a month. Are transfers in Duston uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in Duston registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any interested parties. Currently approximately three quarters of submission are completed within two weeks but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Historically registration is effected after the purchaser has moved in to the property so 'speed' is not typically an essential issue yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
