You have limited options available to you. As you are obtaining a mortgage with a mortgage company your conveyancer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your solicitor would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the CML Handbook specifications . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Market Rasen conveyancing searches.

I moved into my flat on 14 February and my personal details is yet to be on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Market Rasen said it would be formalised in less than a month. Are titles in Market Rasen particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Market Rasen is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any interested parties. Currently approximately three quarters of submission are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Registration occurs after the purchaser has moved in to the property therefore 'speed' is not usually primary concern but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Market Rasen. Before diving in I require certainty as to the unexpired term of the lease.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Market Rasen - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

My husband and I have recently had an offer accepted on a flat and had meeting on Tuesday with Nationwide for the mortgage. They have informed me that when it comes to selecting a conveyancing practitioner that if they are not on their approved list of conveyancing practitioners then we will incur an additional charge of £250+. This is is due to the fact that they would then have to instruct a property lawyer to act on their behalf in addition to the one we choose to act on our behalf and we will be on the hook for their fees. I have asked Nationwide to furnish me with a list so I can obtain estimates only from their approved solicitors but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. Is there a simple way of finding out who is on a lender panel?
You can enquire of Nationwide what their criteria for panel membership is for a conveyancer.Thereafter ask the property lawyer of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on mortgages for Nationwide historically. Where the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with Nationwide. Alternatively please utilise our search tool and we should be able to identify a solicitor in Market Rasen on the panel for Nationwide.
