Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Newport Pagnell. Is there a reason why all Newport Pagnell conveyancers are not on all mortgage company panels?
Before the recession most lenders demonstrated an approach to risk which is different than today. The Financial Services Authority in 2010 conducted a thematic review into fraud which in summary warned lenders: know the conveyancers on your panel. Accordingly, mortgage companies have since looked to extract more data from law firms concerning their processes and the individuals who work for them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum volume of transactions. Thousands of law practices have been excluded from lender panels even though they had an exemplary disciplinary record, no complaints and zero claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Many firms found it impossible satisfy the criteria of volume of transactions the lenders set.

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Newport Pagnell registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any third persons or bodies. At present approximately three quarters of submission are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Historically registration occurs once the purchaser has moved in to the property thus an expedited registration is not usually primary concern but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
