I am considering applying for a HSBC mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Camelford with 65 per cent LTV. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for HSBC ?

In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the HSBC conveyancing panel, but HSBC would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.

I acquired my flat on 11 May and my personal details are still not registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Camelford expressed confidence that it should be concluded in less than a month. Are properties in Camelford uniquely lengthy to register?

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Camelford registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any interested persons or bodies. At present roughly three quarters of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted delays. Registration takes place once the new owner is living at the property thus post completion formalities is not always top priority but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
