We're in Upminster Bridge, First time buyers purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Barclays , and our lawyer is on the Barclays conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Barclays conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not.

I have a semi-detached Edwardian house in Upminster Bridge. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and TSB. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same property. Is it worth asking TSB to clarify?
You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for 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).

How does conveyancing in Upminster Bridge differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Upminster Bridge approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because new home sellers in Upminster Bridge tend to purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Upminster Bridge or who has acted in the same development.
