My lawyer in Woodside is not listed on the Approved Panel. Can I still use my prefered solicitor even though they are not on the approved list?
The limited options open to you here include:
- Carry on with your preferred Woodside solicitors but will need to instruct a lawyer on their list of acceptable firms. This will inevitably rack up the total conveyancing fees as well as cause frustration.
- Get a new practitioner to to deal with the purchase, obviously checking they are approved.
- Persuade your based solicitor to try to join the panel
I have been told that property searches are the number one cause of stalling in Woodside house deals. Is this right?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released determinations of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the common causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Searches are unlikely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Woodside.

The figure above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed investigations. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other concerns that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information without first getting professional advice.
I acquired a property in Woodside last and to date it is still not registered with HMLR. It was part of a development site and my told me that it may take 12 months to register. I have contacted HMLR directly and they have informed me the original application was cancelled due to questions not being addressed in time. Should I be concerned?
