My IFA has requested my Henfield law firm’s panel member for the Santander conveyancing panel. How do I discover this. I have tried my local Henfield branch but they have not responded to me.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Henfield conveyancing practitioner . They should have a central record lender panel numbers.
I have given 8 weeks notice to my existing landlord and have to be out of my rented property in Henfield by the end of next month. Conveyancing for my house purchase is progressing. Is it possible to complete in three weeks as I wish to avoid having to move into short term accommodation?
Generally one should not give notice for your tenancy until you have exchanged. Assuming that you have not already done so, notify to your lawyer and ask them to they cajole the owners solicitors, try to get a realistic time scale from them that everyone will look to achieve

Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Nottingham. Henfield conveyancing solicitors have been instructed. How long does it take for Nottingham to send the offer to the conveyancing practitioner?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Nottingham conducted the survey? Have you informed Nottingham as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in July 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Bank of Ireland are being problematic. The Henfield solicitor who is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Bank of Ireland are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Bank of Ireland have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Bank of Ireland have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Bank of Ireland 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.
My offer on a detached house in Henfield has been accepted, the vendors do however have a tied purchase. The sellers have offered on a property, but it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other apartments in the pipeline. I have instructed a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Henfield. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with Leeds Building Society started?
It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (home loan application is approx £1k, then survey, Henfield conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you should check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Leeds Building Society approved list. Concerning the next steps this very much dictated by the circumstances of your transaction, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market many home buyers will apply for the mortgage with Leeds Building Society and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their solicitor to press on with searches.
I got the keys to my house on 7 October and my personal details is yet to be on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Henfield expressed confidence that it will be concluded inside ten days. Are titles in Henfield particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Henfield registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any interested persons or bodies. As of today approximately three quarters of submission are fully addressed within two weeks but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Historically registration occurs once the buyer is living at the premises therefore post completion formalities is not typically primary concern but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer should contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Henfield is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Henfield are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Henfield you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Henfield 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 residence.
