I am not in a position to travel far from Hale. What is the rationale as to why all Hale conveyancing practitioners aren't automatically on all bank panels?
Even though it may seem unfair for banks to limit who can represent them, from the public’s or solicitor’s viewpoint, the other side of the coin is that lenders are increasingly anxious and regard it necessary to shield themselves from illegal activities. As a consequence of this concern banks are limiting their panel of approved conveyancing lawyers to a size that they are happy to control.

I acquired my apartment on 13 April and my personal details is yet to be on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Hale said it will be registered inside ten days. Are titles in Hale uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in Hale is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than the rest of the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any other persons or bodies. At present approximately 80% of such applications are fully dealt with within two weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Historically registration occurs after the purchaser has moved in to the premises therefore an expedited registration is not always primary concern but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

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. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?
