Can you suggest a Yorkshire Building Society approved Holland Park conveyancing firm who can have us moved in within under 3 weeks? Am I best advised to unstruct a local Holland Park solicitor or a web based comparison site?

My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Holland Park. I I would like to check whether they are on the Skipton Building Society approved list of lawyers. Could you help?
You should e-mail the conveyancer and enquire whether they can act for the lender. Alternatively you should call Skipton Building Society who may be able to assist.
It has been 4 months since my purchase conveyancing in Holland Park concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, but the property agent told us that the vendor will only go ahead if we use their preferred conveyancers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in Holland Park
We suspect that the owner is not behind this demand. If they want ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious purchaser is counter productive. Try to communicate with the owners directly and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to instruct your preferred Holland Park conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthose that will give the negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing figures demanded by senior management.
Why is it not possible to complete our conveyancing in Holland Park on Good Friday?
This is due to the fact that on completion the money needs to pass between the banks of the buyer and owner’s conveyancer and at present this can only happen on a working day. So you can't complete on a saturday or sunday either.
