I am getting a mortgage with Santander. I intend to use a Licensed Conveyancer in Binfield. Does the Santander Solicitor panel include Licensed Conveyancers?
The Santander conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, represented by the Council or Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
I understand that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Do I need this when purchasing a property in Binfield? or Apparently there is a law dating back centuries that could mean that owners of property living in a parish church boundary will be compelled to pay for maintenance towards the chancel within the church. Is this relevant for conveyancing in Binfield?
Unless a previous acquisition of the house took place post 12 October 2013 you can expect solicitors delivering conveyancing in Binfield to remain recommending a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.
It has been 4 months following my purchase conveyancing in Binfield completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

No doubt it’s preferable to find a conveyancing practitioner is to seek recommendations from friends or family who have previously instructed the firm that you are considering.
I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Binfield. Before I get started I require certainty as to the unexpired term of the lease.
If the lease is registered - and almost all are in Binfield - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

What prohibitions are contained in the Binfield Lease? It would be sensible to find out if there is anything that is prohibited in the lease. For instance plenty of leases prohibit pets being permitted in certain buildings in Binfield. If you like the propertyin Binfield but your cat can’t live with you then you have a very difficult compromise. Plenty Binfield leasehold apartments will incur a service charge for maintenance of the building set by the freeholder. If you purchase the flat you will have to pay this contribution, usually in instalments throughout the year. This may vary from a couple of hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for large purpose-built buildings. There will also be a ground rent to be met annual, normally this is not a large amount, say about £50-£100 but you need to enquire it because occasionally it could be prohibitively expensive.
