I am hoping to receive a offer of a home loan from Santander. I hope to use a Licensed Conveyancer in Bookham. Does the Santander Solicitor panel exclude conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Santander conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, represented by the CML or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
Would the conveyancing solicitors identified through your search tool handle auction conveyancing in Bookham?
We know of a number of niche solicitors we can connect you with those conducting auction conveyancing. Bookham is just one of our locations where our lawyers have offices.
We are purchasing a 2 bedroom flat in Bookham with a residential mortgage from Platform Home Loans Ltd.We have a Bookham conveyancing practitioner but Platform Home Loans Ltd informed us he's not listed on their "panel". We have to appoint a Platform Home Loans Ltd panel lawyer or retain our high street solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Platform Home Loans Ltd use our lawyer?
No, not really. The mortgage issued to you contains various provisions, one of which will be that lawyers will be on the Platform Home Loans Ltd conveyancing panel. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Platform Home Loans Ltd

We are planning to move home in January. Will my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Bookham. Conveyancing solicitor was found prior to coming across this site.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the house keys from your selling agent but this should only occur after the previous owners conveyancers confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be given over. You can inform the removal company that you are ready to move in. We do not suggest a particular removal organisation but can assist you in finding a residential property solicitor in Bookham or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Bookham.
About to purchase maisonette in Bookham. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the RBS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Bookham property lawyer is on the RBS conveyancing panel.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up during conveyancing in Bookham?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Bookham. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
How does conveyancing in Bookham differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Bookham approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because builders in Bookham typically acquire the real estate, 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 property lawyers 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Bookham or who has acted in the same development.
