I am expecting a mortgage with Santander. I would like to enlist the help of a Licensed Conveyancer in Emerson Park. Does the Santander Solicitor panel allow for conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Santander approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, associated to the Council or Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

Me and my brother have a renovated Georgian house in Emerson Park. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Chelsea Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Emerson Park and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the work.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Emerson Park is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Emerson Park are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Emerson Park you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Emerson Park may ascertain 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 purchased a house in Emerson Park last 21/7/2025 and to date it is still not recorded with HM Land Registry. It was part of a development site and my solicitor told me that it can take 12 months to complete the registration formalities. I have contacted HMLR directly and they have informed me the initial application was cancelled due to failure to reply to requisitions. Do I need to be concerned?
Contact your conveyancing practitioner - if you are not getting sensible responses, find out about their firm’s complaints procedure and escalate your concerns to a Partner. Registrations for Emerson Park conveyancing are not known to be especially complex.
