I am not well enough to travel far from North Walsham. I would like to know the understand why all North Walsham conveyancers are not on all lender panels?

Pre- 2008 most mortgage companies demonstrated an attitude to risk which is different from today. The FSA in 2010 carried out a thematic review into property fraud which concluded: know the lawyers on your panel. Accordingly, banks have since looked to extract more information from law firms regarding their processes and the staff who work for them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum volume of transactions. Hundreds of law practices have been excluded from lender panels even though they had 100% healthy disciplinary record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Such firms were never going to meet the minimum amount of transactions the mortgage companies set.

I bought my home on 9 September and my personal details are still not on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in North Walsham advises it should be dealt with in a couple of weeks. Are titles in North Walsham particularly slow to register?

As far as conveyancing in North Walsham registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any third parties. At present roughly three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Historically registration is effected after the purchaser has moved in to the premises thus an expedited registration is not always primary concern but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer must speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

About to purchase a new build apartment in North Walsham. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.

Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. 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.

I'm converting the mortgage on my current house to a BTL loan with Skipton Building Society and I will use the ballance of the raised equity towards a second house.
