My IFA requires my Alperton law firm’s panel member for the Santander conveyancing panel. How do I obtain this. I have called my local Alperton branch but they don't know it.

Our son is in the process of securing a new build apartment in Alperton with a home loan from Bank of Ireland. His solicitor has said that there is a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. What is this document - I have never come across this before?
The document is intended to provide information to the main parties involved in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when asked. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
I am assisting my mother sell her property in Alperton. Does the solicitor arrange the energy performance certificate or should I organise this?
Following the demise of Home Information Packs, energy assessments was retained a compulsory element of moving property. An energy performance certificate should be commissioned in advance of the property being marketed. It is not as aspect of the sale process that solicitors ordinarily organise. If you are instructing a Alperton conveyancing solicitor they may be willing to arrange EPC’s given their contacts with long established Alperton accredited person
is it true that all Alperton solicitor practices on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel are overseen by the SRA?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel they would need to be regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. The majority of lenders do list licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such practice would be governed by the CLC.
My partner and I have arranged a further advance on our home loan from Barclays as we want to conduct a loft conversion to our property in Alperton. Do we need to appoint a nearby Alperton solicitor on the Barclays conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?
Barclays do not ordinarily require firms on their approved list of lawyers to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Barclays list.
How does conveyancing in Alperton differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Alperton approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because builders in Alperton usually buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Alperton or who has acted in the same development.
Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Alperton ahead of retaining conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. The surveyor advised that some lenders may not grant a loan on a flying freehold home.
It depends who your proposed lender is. Lloyds has different requirements from Halifax. Should you wish to telephone us we can check via the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Alperton. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Alperton especially if they are familiar with such properties in Alperton.
I need to review estimates for conveyancing in Alperton from three solicitor and choose one. Should I tell them to hold tight until I I have my bid accepted on a apartment.
We would recommend that you wait to request your property lawyer to start work and apply for searches after the offer has been accepted on the property particularly as Alperton conveyancing searches are a couple of hundred pounds.
