You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Staines or throughout Surrey is often a confrontational experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of room for conflict between you and other parties involved in the home moving process. For example, the seller, estate agent and on occasion a mortgage company.

My offer was accepted on a house in Staines on 11/3/2024, valuation was booked 2 days later, all came back fine. Conveyancer appointed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Principality and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Principality conveyancing panel. Are Principality entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Principality to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Principality conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I purchased a renovated Georgian house in Staines. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Yorkshire Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the matching address. Is it worth asking Yorkshire Building Society to clarify?
You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Staines and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also check the position with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the work.
