My partner and I are looking to buy a home in Westonzoyland and are in fact using a Westonzoyland conveyancing practice. Within the past 48 hours our lawyer has forwarded the sale agreement to be signed with a detailed report in anticipation of exchanging contracts shortly. Halifax have this morning contacted us to inform me that they have now hit a problem as our Westonzoyland conveyancer is not on their approved list of lawyers. Is this a problem?
If you are buying a property with the assistance of a mortgage it is usual for the purchasers' lawyers to also represent the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your property lawyer should contact your lender and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You don't have to instruct a firm on the lender’s conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Westonzoyland solicitors, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it may delay matters as you have another set of people involved.

Some locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. You should check these things with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.

I completed on my home on 11 May and my personal details is yet to be on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Westonzoyland expressed confidence that it should be dealt with in a couple of weeks. Are titles in Westonzoyland particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Westonzoyland registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any other persons or bodies. As of today approximately three quarters of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Registration occurs once the new owner is living at the property thus 'speed' is not typically top priority but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
