Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Woodhall Spa. I would like to know the reason why all Woodhall Spa conveyancers aren't automatically on all mortgage company panels?
Pre- 2008 most mortgage companies demonstrated an approach to risk which differs from the current day. The FSA in 2010 instigated a thematic review into fraud which concluded: know the conveyancing practitioners on your panel. Accordingly, banks have since soughtmore information from law firms about their operations and the individuals who work for them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum amount of transactions. Many law practices have found themselves excluded from lender panels even though they had an exemplary disciplinary record, no complaints and zero claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Many firms found it impossible satisfy the minimum amount of transactions the mortgage companies insisted on.

Just bought a terraced house in Woodhall Spa , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My Woodhall Spa conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain that my ownership is recorded.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Woodhall Spa registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any other persons or bodies. Currently roughly 80% of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Historically registration takes place once the purchaser has moved in to the premises so an expedited registration is not typically an essential issue yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

-
Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.

They will also have local insight which is a bonus. However it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If if people you trust used your friend and in the main were impressed that should surpass using an unfamiliar Woodhall Spa conveyancing solicitor just because they are based in the area.
