My financial adviser has requested my Cheetham Hill law firm’s panel member for the Santander conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I obtain this. I have e-mailed my local Cheetham Hill branch but they cant find it on their system.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Cheetham Hill conveyancing practitioner . They retain a central record lender panel numbers.
Our Cheetham Hill conveyancer has discovered a discrepancy when comparing the information in the valuation report and what is revealed within the title deeds. My lawyer informs me that he is duty bound to check that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my lawyer’s approach correct?
Your conveyancing practitioner must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.
My lawyer in Cheetham Hill is not on the Barnsley Building Society Conveyancing Panel. Is it possible for me to continue with my prefered solicitor even though they are not on the Barnsley Building Society panel?
Your options are as follows:
- Complete the purchase with your preferred Cheetham Hill lawyers but Barnsley Building Society will need to use a solicitor on their panel. This will inevitably rack up the overall conveyancing charges and result in delays.
- Choose a new practitioner to to deal with the conveyancing, remembering to check they are Barnsley Building Society approved.
- Persuade your Barnsley Building Society solicitor to try to join the Barnsley Building Society panel
I just acquired a property at auction in Cheetham Hill. Conveyancing is required. What happens now?
Having exchanged you should instruct a conveyancing lawyer as a matter of priority as you are faced with a tight a fixed date to complete the transaction. Every auction property should have a bespoke legal set of papers. This will likely include evidence of title and search results. Where you are dealing with leasehold property the legal papers may include a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing documentation specific to a leasehold property. You must give this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor as soon as possible. You also need to ensure that your finances are in place to complete on the on the contractual date .
Is it the case that all Cheetham Hill CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Aldermore conveyancing list of approved practices?
Some major lenders now utilise the accreditation scheme as the starting point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. CQS accreditation however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to join their approved list of firms.

Searches are not likely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Cheetham Hill.
The deeds to our property are lost. The solicitors who dealt with the conveyancing in Cheetham Hill 10 years ago no longer exist. What are my options?
In today’s world there are copies made of almost everything, and your lawyer should know precisely where to find all the suitable documentation so you can purchase or dispose of your property without a hitch. Where copies are not available, your conveyancer can arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities protecting you against possible claims on your premises.
