Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with RBS. Whitmore conveyancing solicitors were selected. How long does it take for RBS to send the offer to the conveyancing practitioner?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have RBS done the valuation? Have you informed RBS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the RBS conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Whitmore. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Leeds Building Society have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As your lender is Leeds Building Society your lawyer must check the formal requirements outlined in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Leeds Building Society. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook contains minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Leeds Building Society where a lease fails to meet these requirements. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not restricted to Whitmore.

Have completed on a a detached house in Whitmore , how long should it take for the Land Registry to record my title? My Whitmore conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to check that my ownership is recorded.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Whitmore registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any third parties. At present approximately 80% of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Historically registration takes place once the purchaser has moved in to the property thus an expedited registration is not always top priority but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
How does conveyancing in Whitmore differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Whitmore come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because new home sellers in Whitmore usually acquire the land, 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 Whitmore or who has acted in the same development.
