I can see plenty of here concerning conveyancing in Sunningdale but can you isolate your top tip for appointing the right conveyancer in Sunningdale

It would be unwise to be swayed by the cheapest Sunningdale conveyancing quote. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.

Is it the case that all Sunningdale conveyancing solicitors on the UBS conveyancing panel are governed by the SRA?

As solicitors, in order to be on the UBS approved list of solicitors they would need to be regulated by the SRA. Many banks do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the firms would be overseen by the CLC.

I currently have a mortgage with Santander for my property in Sunningdale. Conveyancing has been completed a year ago. Should I wish to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Santander?

Santander must be informed of your intention before letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Santander’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Santander directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Santander conveyancing panel firm.

The deeds to our home can not be found. The conveyancers who handled the conveyancing in Sunningdale 5 years ago no longer exist. What are my options?

Gone are the days when you need to have the physical deeds to prove you are the owner of your registered land or property, as the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.
