A mortgage offer from Santander for the remortgage of my 3 bedroom apartment is expected any day now. Can you put forward a low cost conveyancing lawyer in Hackenthorpe?

In your best case scenario, in choosing a lawyer for cheap conveyancing, you will earn what you pay for and at worst you will end up spending a lot in extras and still not get the service expected.
I am the registered owner of a freehold property in Hackenthorpe but nevertheless pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Hackenthorpe and has limited impact for conveyancing in Hackenthorpe but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.
Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges have existed for hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the creation of fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Old rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 will be extinguished.
We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The bank mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to instruct their panel solicitor as I would prefer to appoint a Hackenthorpe based conveyancing firm?
You should check but the the probability is that appoint one of their panel conveyancers where you take up the "fee-free" offer. Call the bank to ask if they allow a monetary alternative. Some lenders have previously offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case you could put that amount towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor near Hackenthorpe.
Various internet forums that I have frequented warn that are the main reason for delay in Hackenthorpe conveyancing transactions. Is that correct?

Searches are unlikely to feature in any slowing down conveyancing in Hackenthorpe.
I have justdiscovered that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Hackenthorpe for a purchase of a freehold house 12 months ago. How can I establish that my home is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?
