My fiance and I decided to purchase a newbuild apartment in Benfleet with a mortgage from Platform Home Loans Ltd.We have a Benfleet conveyancing solicitor but Platform Home Loans Ltd says her practice is not on their approved list of member firms. we are left little option but to use a Platform Home Loans Ltd panel solicitor or keep our local solicitor and fork out for a Platform Home Loans Ltd panel lawyer to represent them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The mortgage offered to you contains terms and conditions, one of which will be that solicitors needs to be on the Platform Home Loans Ltd approved list. in the past, most banks had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Platform Home Loans Ltd

I acquired my apartment on 16 August and my personal details is not yet registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Benfleet advises it would be recorded inside ten days. Are titles in Benfleet uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in Benfleet is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any other persons or bodies. As of today approximately 80% of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Historically registration is effected after the purchaser is living at the property thus 'speed' is not always primary concern but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
