Are the Essington conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by Coventry BS?
Essington conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Coventry BS directly.
What happens if my lawyer’s firm is expelled from the Co-operative Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Essington?
The first thing to point out is that, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as FTB of a garden flat in Essington. Do I collect the keys to the premises on the completion date from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Essington?
On the day of completion you will not be required to attend the conveyancers office in Essington. Your solicitors will arrange to send the purchase money to the vendor’s conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be able to pick up the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.
is it true that all Essington solicitor practices on the Santander conveyancing panel are overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Santander conveyancing panel they would need to be governed by the SRA. Many banks do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such firms would be overseen by the CLC.
My offer was accepted on a house in Essington on 22/4/2025, valuation was booked 3 days after, all came back fine. Conveyancer appointed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Co-operative and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Co-operative to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I completed on my apartment on 4 July and the transaction details is yet to be on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Essington advises it will be dealt with inside ten days. Are properties in Essington particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Essington registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ 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 roughly 80% of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays. Historically registration occurs once the new owner is living at the property so registration formalities is not typically top priority yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor must speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal.
