My husband and I have arranged a further advance on our home loan from Santander as we intend to conduct a loft conversion to our home in Denton. Are we obliged to appoint a high street Denton solicitor on the Santander conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?

I had a mortgage agreed in principle with Leeds Building Society. Denton conveyancing solicitors have been instructed. How long does it take for Leeds Building Society to issue the offer to the lawyer?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Leeds Building Society done the valuation? Have you informed Leeds Building Society as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I have instructed a Denton conveyancer having made sure that they are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Aldermore will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Aldermore will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Denton surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
Have purchased a a terraced house in Denton , how long should it take for the Land Registry to record my proprietorship? My Denton conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to check the land registry aspects are concluded.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Denton registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any third parties. As of today approximately three quarters of such applications are completed within two weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Registration takes place after the new owner has moved in to the premises so 'speed' is not always top priority but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Denton is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Denton are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Denton you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Denton may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Denton. Before diving in I require certainty as to the remaining lease term.
If the lease is registered - and most are in Denton - 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.
