I am hoping to receive a mortgage offer from Santander. I intend to instruct a Licensed Conveyancer in Christchurch. Does the Santander Solicitor panel include Licensed Conveyancers?

The Santander approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, associated to the Council or Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

About to purchase a new build apartment in Christchurch. 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.

Set out below are examples of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Christchurch

The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?

My wife and I have agreed a price on a Christchurch ground floor flat we inherited 5 years ago in 2012. I have over a decades worth of conveyancing know-how and, although retired, see no reason not to do the conveyancing. The buyer's conveyancer has informed me that their bank will not allow you to do your own conveyancing requiring the funds to be sent to a solicitor's bank account.

Mortgage requirements to solicitors from all mainstream lenders state that If the seller does not have legal representation the borrower's lawyers should check whether the bank needs to be notified so that a decision can be reached if they are willing to move forward.
