My offer was accepted on a house in Moreton on 27/2/2026, valuation was booked 2 days later, received a clean bill of health. Solicitor retained, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Yorkshire BS and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Are Yorkshire BS entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
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 Yorkshire BS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
Just bought a terraced house in Moreton , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my ownership? My Moreton conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to check the registration is addressed.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Moreton registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary 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 in the region of three quarters of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Registration occurs once the purchaser has moved in to the property so an expedited registration is not always top priority but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? 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 Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry.
