That being said,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to join their approved list of firms.
I am expecting a AIP from Leeds Building Society this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Leeds Building Society recommend any Werrington solicitors on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Werrington solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Leeds Building Society through the process.
My fiancee and I are at the point of viewing flats in Werrington and I am about to put in an offer. Is it sensible to have my lawyer on ‘stand by’? I am planning to take a home loan with Barclays.
It would be advisable to commence your search sooner rather than later.

Have purchased a a semi-detached house in Werrington , how long should it take for the Land Registry to register my ownership? My Werrington conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to check the land registry aspects are concluded.
As far as conveyancing in Werrington registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any interested parties. At present roughly three quarters of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Historically registration occurs once the buyer has moved in to the premises thus an expedited registration is not typically top priority but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
How does conveyancing in Werrington differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Werrington contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because house builders in Werrington usually 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 conveyancers 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Werrington or who has acted in the same development.
