My mortgage broker has asked me for my Buntingford solicitor’s panel member for the Santander conveyancing panel. How do I find this out. I have contacted my local Buntingford office but they have not responded to me.

I have given 8 weeks notice to my existing landlord and have to be out of my let out flat in Buntingford by the end of next month. Conveyancing for my house purchase has just started. How realistic is it to complete in 4 weeks as don't want to have to find short term accommodation?
It is unwise to give notice for your tenancy until exchange of contracts has taken place. If you have not already done so, speak to your solicitor and request that they cajole the sellers lawyers, try to get a realistic time scale from them that everyone will aim towards
There are numerous conveyancing solicitors in Buntingford but how do I know who's good?
It would be unwise to be seduced by the lowest Buntingford conveyancing fees. You really do get what you pay 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 know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of time.
How can we tell if a Buntingford conveyancing solicitor on the Nottingham panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Buntingford seeking recommendations is a good starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always suggest that you speak with the solicitor conducting your transaction.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Bank of Ireland. I assume I don't need a Buntingford solicitor on the Bank of Ireland panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Bank of Ireland mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Bank of Ireland mortgage from the register. Bank of Ireland, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Bank of Ireland has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Bank of Ireland has instructed the Land Registry to do so
