I am due to move home in July. Should my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you put forward a removal company in Preston. Conveyancing lawyer was chosen prior to coming across your site.

I'm the single recipient of my late mum's estate and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Preston. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in May. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be treated the same way as if I'd bought the house in May. Will no one buy the property for half a year?

The CML handbook instructs conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be caught by that. Most mortgage companies would take a sensible view as this requirement chiefly exists to capture subsales or the quick reselling of property.

Is there a list of Coventry BS panel conveyancers in Preston on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?

No. There is no such directory service on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association websites. Very few banks make their panel listings open the public on the web. If you are seeking to appoint a Preston conveyancer on the Coventry BS please make the most of our tool.

I completed on my house on 10 October and my personal details is yet to be registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Preston said it should be recorded in less than a month. Are transfers in Preston particularly slow to register?

As far as conveyancing in Preston registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry have to notify any other persons or bodies. At present in the region of three quarters of submission are fully dealt with within two weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Registration is effected once the buyer is living at the property so an expedited registration is not typically top priority but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

Should I be concerned that estate agents that I am dealing with are recommending an online conveyancing firm rather than a High Street Preston conveyancing firm?

As is the case with many professional services, often input from connections can be extremely useful or valuable. Nevertheless there are lots of players in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, mortgage brokers and mortgage companies may put forward lawyers to instruct. Sometimes these solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but sometimes there is an underlying commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You are free to appoint your preferred lawyer. However, bear in mind that some banks specify a panel list of law firms you have to use for the lender aspect of your home move.

I am 17 days into a residential purchase having been recommend to conveyancers by the estate agent to perform conveyancing in Preston. We are not happy. Could you help me find new lawyers?

In the event that it has you must make them aware of the new contact details and ensure the offer are re-issued. Your new solicitor ideally needs to be on the lenders approved list to avoid supplemental expenses and frustration. So that should be your starting point.

My in 2006. He has got married, widowed and has recently married again. He now intends to dispose of the Preston property. I think he will just be asked to supply copies of the marriage certificates to the lawyer but he is worried it will hold up the home sale. Is it worth updating the Land Registry information for the property?

It is not absolutely necessary to bring up to date the register as long as you have the evidence required to demonstrate how the name change occurred.

Any purchaser’s solicitor will review the title details and request evidence by way of proof of the name change e.g. marriage certificates.
