Much to our surprise we have been advised by our financial adviser that my Wallingford the law firm I have appointed is not on the mortgage company Solicitor panel. How can I be certain if this is indeed the case?

Last January we completed a house move in Wallingford. We have since encountered a number of problems with the property which we believe were missed in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? Can you clarify the nature of searches that should have been carried out as part of conveyancing in Wallingford?
The question is vague as to the nature of the problems and if they are relate to conveyancing in Wallingford. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated as part of the legal transfer of property are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a seller fills in a form known as a SPIF. If the information provided is incorrect, you may have a misrepresentation claim against the owner for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Wallingford.
At what point does exchange of contracts take place for domestic conveyancing in Wallingford and am I required to be at the conveyancers office?
Where you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Wallingford you are invited in to sign documents. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we work with offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give as equally detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The signing of the contract is not the critical part. A signed contract is necessary for the solicitor to address the formalities at the appropriate time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a lengthy "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Wallingford)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The lender mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to instruct their panel solicitor as I would much rather use a Wallingford based conveyancing firm?
Do check but the the likelihood is that give you one of their panel solicitors if you accept the "fee-free" deal. Speak to the mortgage company to explore if they make available a cash alternative. In the past a few lenders offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case that money can go towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor near Wallingford.
Have completed on a a semi-detached house in Wallingford , how long will it take for the Land Registry to record my ownership? My Wallingford conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain that my name is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Wallingford registration is no faster or slower than the rest of England and Wales.
