Recently contacted my conveyancing lawyer in Skellingthorpe who conducted the legals 18 months ago requesting a conveyancing estimate based on an identical type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold premises and a freehold property) of similar values with a loan from TSB. It looks as though am now being quoted twice the amount. Stick with what I know or should I try and find an alternative conveyancer?

The quote is slightly on the steep side. If you are happy to spend time comparing costs you could shave off some of the expense by say £100 plus VAT. On the other hand, if you were pleased with the conveyancing the firm gave you couldcome to regret choosing an a cheaper solicitor. Remember to enquire that the conveyancer can represent TSB.

We are buying a house and need a conveyancing solicitor in Skellingthorpe who is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a conveyancing firm?

We are buying a 2 bedroom flat in Skellingthorpe with a loan from Chelsea Building Society.We like our Skellingthorpe conveyancing solicitor but Chelsea Building Society says her practice is not on their "panel". We have to appoint a Chelsea Building Society panel firm or keep our high street solicitor and fork out for a Chelsea Building Society panel lawyer to represent them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?

Unfortunately,no. The loan offered to you contains terms and conditions, one of which will be that conveyancers will be on the Chelsea Building Society approved list. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors 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 lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Chelsea Building Society

Just bought a terraced house in Skellingthorpe , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my title? My Skellingthorpe conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be sure the post completion formalities are concluded.

As far as conveyancing in Skellingthorpe is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry need to notify any other parties. Currently roughly three quarters of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Registration takes place once the buyer is living at the property so an expedited registration is not usually top priority but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
