We have a mortgage agreed in principle with Santander. Hammersmith conveyancing practitioners were selected. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Santander?

I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in January 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Lloyds are being a right pain. The Hammersmith solicitor who is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Lloyds are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Lloyds have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Lloyds have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Lloyds may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
How does conveyancing in Hammersmith differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Hammersmith contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because builders in Hammersmith usually buy the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Hammersmith or who has acted in the same development.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Hammersmith. Before I set the wheels in motion I require certainty as to the unexpired term of the lease.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in Hammersmith - 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.

I have been informed by many family members that it may take six to eight weeks for Hammersmith conveyancing to complete.This was 3 ago. The property information was only received to my property lawyer last week so does the time start running now?
You should not count on completing on a set date until exchange of contracts takes place. Regardless of the promises the people you are buying from or selling to make, or your solicitor gives don't bank on them. More frustration is caused to clients trying to move home by unfulfilled promises than any other factor when it comes to conveyancing in Hammersmith.
