Please help. My Shenfield conveyancer is informing me me that he is legally obliged toconduct Shenfield conveyancing searches asthe firm are on the Virgin Moneysolicitor panel. Is my conveyancer correct?
Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. As you are obtaining a mortgage with a bank your conveyancing practitioner has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your property lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook conditions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Shenfield conveyancing searches.

I purchased my flat on 5 June and the transaction details is yet to be registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Shenfield expressed confidence that it would be recorded in less than a month. Are properties in Shenfield uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in Shenfield is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than the rest of England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry need to notify any interested persons or bodies. Currently roughly three quarters of such applications are fully addressed within two weeks but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Registration occurs once the purchaser is living at the premises so 'speed' is not typically an essential issue yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

- A significant proportion of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Shenfield can be bypassed if you appoint lawyers as soon as you market your property and request that they start to put together the leasehold documentation which will be required by the purchasers’ conveyancers. You believe that you know the number of years left on your lease but it would be advisable double-check by asking your conveyancers. A purchaser's conveyancer will not be happy to advise their client to proceed with the purchase of a leasehold property the remaining number of years is less than 80 years. It is therefore essential at an as soon as possible that you identify whether the lease term for your property needs extending. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your premises on the market for sale. The majority of landlords or managing agents in Shenfield levy fees for providing management packs for a leasehold premises. You or your lawyers should find out the actual amount of the charges. The management pack can be applied for as soon as you have a buyer, thus accelerating the process. The typical amount of time it takes to receive management information is three weeks. It is the most common cause of delay in leasehold conveyancing in Shenfield. If there is a history of any disputes with your landlord or managing agents it is very important that these are settled before the property is marketed. The buyers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a property where there is a current dispute. You will have to accept that you will have to pay any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to completion of the sale. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled prior to the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You will still have to reveal details of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is better to present the dispute as historic as opposed to ongoing.
