Finally the sale completed on my house in Heysham last October but our buyer keeps texting me to say her solicitor is waiting to hear from mine. What should my lawyer have done following completion?

We are purchasing a 1 bedroom apartment in Heysham with a residential mortgage from Virgin Money.We would like to retain our Heysham conveyancing solicitor but Virgin Money informed us he's not listed on their approved list of member firms. We have to appoint a Virgin Money panel firm or keep our local solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The mortgage issued to you contains terms and conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will be on the Virgin Money solicitor panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could choose 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. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Virgin Money

My wife and I buying a detached bungalow in Heysham. We would like to an extension at the rear at the house.Will the conveyancing process include checks to ascertain if these works are prohibited?
Your property lawyer should review the registered title as conveyancing in Heysham can occasionally identify restrictions in the title documents which prohibit certain changes or require the consent of a 3rd party. Certain works require local authority planning consent and approval in compliance with building regulations. Some areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. It would be prudent to check these things with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
Can I be sure that the Heysham conveyancing solicitor on the Nottingham panel is any good?

Just bought a terraced house in Heysham , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my ownership? My Heysham conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure that my name is recorded.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Heysham registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry have to notify any other parties. Currently roughly three quarters of submission are fully dealt with within 12 days but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Registration is effected after the new owner is living at the property so registration formalities is not usually top priority 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 an expedited registration.
I am purchasing a new build house in Heysham with a loan from Clydesdale. The builders would not reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The sale representative advised me not to tell my lawyer about the extras as it would put at risk my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
