Just acquired a detached house in Rawcliffe , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Rawcliffe conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be sure the registration formalities are dealt with.

As far as conveyancing in Rawcliffe is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any third persons or bodies. Currently roughly three quarters of submission are completed within two weeks but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Registration takes place after the new owner has moved in to the property thus an expedited registration is not typically top priority yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

My 20yr old son is just in the process of moving house, the home loan was agreed last week in principle. After the offer was accepted on apartment we telephoned the mortgage company to issue the formal offer. We were disappointed to discover that mortgage lenders do not accept all conveyancing practitioner, they need to be on their approved list, is this correct?

Lenders normally restrict either the type or the number of conveyancing practices on their approved list of lawyers. Typical examples of such restriction(s) being that a firm must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some have decided to limit the number of firms they use to represent them. You should note that lenders have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any Rawcliffe property lawyer on their panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago and whilst there are differing views about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry reveal that thousands of law firms only carry out one or two conveyances a year. Those supporting conveyancing panel cuts ask why law firms should have the right to be on a Lender panel when clearly, conveyancing is not their speciality. To put it another way; would you want a conveyancing solicitor to represent you if you were charged with a crime? Unlikely.
