I can't travel far from Kinmel Bay. I would like to know the logic why all Kinmel Bay conveyancing practitioners aren't included on all bank panels?
Banks normally impose restrictions on either the type or the number of conveyancing firms on their panel. Typical examples of such restriction(s) being that the firm needs to have at least two partners. In addition to restricting the nature of firm, some lenders decided to limit the number of organisations they allow to act for them. It is worth noting that building societies have no responsibility for the standard of conveyancing provided by any Kinmel Bay lawyer on their approved list. Mortgage fraud was the main trigger for the reduction of solicitor panels from 2008 notwithstanding that there are differing opinions about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Data via HM Land Registry indicates that thousands of conveyancing practices only conduct less than three conveyances annually. Those advocating conveyancing panel consolidation ask why law firms should have any entitlement to be on a bank panel when it is apparent that property law is not their speciality?
We're in Kinmel Bay, First time buyers purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Coventry BS , and our solicitor is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no lawyer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

Me and my brother have a 4 bedroom Georgian house in Kinmel Bay. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and TSB. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the matching address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Kinmel Bay and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also check the situation with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the purchase.
My husband and I are four weeks into a residential purchase having been directed to solicitors by the estate agent to carry out the conveyancing in Kinmel Bay. I am not happy. Can you help me find new conveyancers?
A solicitor would have to be very bad to suggest replacing them. Has the loan offer been generated? In the event that it has you need to make them aware of the new contact details and get the mortgage documents are issued to the new lawyers. Your new solicitor ideally should be on the mortgage company panel to avoid supplemental fees and frustration. That should be your starting point.
