Not long after, the conveyancer contacted me to say that they were not on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

Have purchased a a terraced house in Emerson Park , how long should it take for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Emerson Park conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain the post completion formalities are dealt with.
As far as conveyancing in Emerson Park registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry need to notify any interested persons or bodies. Currently approximately 80% of such applications are fully dealt with within 12 days but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Registration takes place after the new owner is living at the property therefore 'speed' is not typically an essential issue but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

I work for a reputable estate agent office in Emerson Park where we have witnessed a few leasehold sales put at risk due to short leases. I have been given inconsistent advice from local Emerson Park conveyancing solicitors. Could you confirm whether the seller of a flat can commence the lease extension formalities for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
As long as the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to commence the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the proposed purchaser need not have to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed prior to, or at the same time as completion of the sale.
An alternative approach is to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.
