No. There is no such tool on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association websites. A small selection of lending institutions make their panel listings viewable online. Where you are in need of a Kesgrave solicitor on the Santander please use our tool.

I have paid off my mortgage with Santander. I assume I don't need a Kesgrave property lawyer on the Santander panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

If you have finished paying off your Santander mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Santander mortgage from the register. Santander, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where Santander has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Santander has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Santander mortgage has been paid off.

The deeds to our property are lost. The lawyers who conducted the conveyancing in Kesgrave 5 years ago no longer exist. What are my options?

Gone are the days when you need to have the physical official documentation to establish that you own the land or property, as the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.

How does conveyancing in Kesgrave differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Kesgrave come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because developers in Kesgrave typically acquire 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 property lawyers 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Kesgrave or who has acted in the same development.

I decided to have a survey done on a property in Kesgrave prior to instructing lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the property. Our surveyor advised that some lenders tend not issue a loan on a flying freehold property.

It varies from the lender to lender. Bank of Scotland has different requirements from Birmingham Midshires. If you contact us we can look into this further via the relevant mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Kesgrave. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Kesgrave to see if the conveyancing will be more expensive.

I need to instruct a conveyancing solicitor for my conveyancing in Kesgrave. I have chance upon a site which looks to be the perfect solution If there is a chance to get all the legals completed via web that would be preferable. Should I be concerned? What are the potential pitfalls?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
