I am considering remortgaging my apartment in Knotty Ash, does my lawyer have to be on the Conveyancing panel?

I have been told that property searches are the primary reason for obstruction in Knotty Ash house deals. Is there any truth in this?

Local searches are unlikely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Knotty Ash.

As far as conveyancing in Knotty Ash registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any third parties. Currently in the region of 80% of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Registration takes place after the buyer has moved in to the premises therefore an expedited registration is not typically primary concern but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers must contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
