I am obtaining a mortgage offer from Santander. I intend to instruct a Licensed Conveyancer in Angel. Does the Santander Conveyancing panel allow for conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Santander conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, associated to the Council or Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
Please help. My Angel conveyancer is advising me that he has toorder Angel conveyancing searches asthe firm are on the Santandersolicitor panel. Do I not have any options here?
Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. Given that you are taking out a loan with a lender your conveyancing practitioner has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook conditions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Angel conveyancing searches.

My lawyer (who is 260 kilometers awayhas requested that I sign a statutory declaration prior to completion.

strictly speaking you are not likely to be required to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally or notary public or solicitor will do regardless of whether they are Angel based
