Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Westhoughton

I am not well enough to travel far from Westhoughton. Is there a reason why all Westhoughton conveyancing practitioners are not on all bank panels?

Lenders point to the fact that solicitor-led fraud is considered to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud every year.The dismissal of law firms from lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the FSA in 2011. Its conclusions included recommendations for lenders to review their conveyancing panels, which kicked off a major policy change in the sector. This led to banks and building societies pruning less reputable firms from their books of approved solicitors .

I have been told that property searches are the main reason for stalling in Westhoughton house deals. Is there any truth in this?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released determinations of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the most frequent causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Local searches are unlikely to feature in any slowing down conveyancing in Westhoughton.

I completed on my home on 1 February and my personal details are still not registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Westhoughton advises it should be dealt with in a couple of weeks. Are properties in Westhoughton particularly slow to register?

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Westhoughton registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry have to notify any interested persons or bodies. As of today approximately 80% of such applications are fully dealt with within two weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Registration is effected after the new owner is living at the premises so 'speed' is not always primary concern yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor must speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

On the look out for a conveyancing solicitor in Westhoughton. I did have one sorted but he's not on the approved list of Principality. It would appear that nowadays most lenders only allow property lawyers on their panel. Very annoying limiting the choice for the paying public. Is it possible for you to suggest a trustworthy Westhoughton property lawyer that can help us as well as represent Principality?

The purpose of this site is restricted to being a directory service for lawyers who want to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Principality in certain locations such as Westhoughton . We dont recommend any specific conveyancing practitioner.
