After what seems like an age a loan agreement from Santander for the refinancing of my 3 bedroom flat is expected any day now. Can you suggest a low cost conveyancing solicitor in Laceby?

How can we tell if a Laceby conveyancing solicitor on the Barclays panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Laceby seeking recommendations is a sensible starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always suggest that you speak with the solicitor handling your conveyancing.
We expect to receive a AIP from RBS this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do RBS recommend any Laceby solicitors on the RBS conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Laceby solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the RBS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and RBS through the process.
I can not work out if my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Laceby bank branch on various occasions and was told it wasn't an issue and they will lend. My Laceby conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called to say that they refuse to lend based on their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
As long as the property lawyer is on the bank approved list, she or he must comply with the CML Handbook provisions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
Should my solicitor be making enquiries about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Laceby.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors specialising in conveyancing in Laceby. There are those who purchase a house in Laceby, completely expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or dispose of the premises. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Lawyers are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a number of checks that may be initiated by the buyer or by their conveyancers which can figure out the risks in Laceby. The conventional set of property information forms given to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) incorporates a usual inquiry of the seller to find out if the property has historically flooded. In the event that the residence has been flooded in past and is not disclosed by the vendor, then a purchaser may issue a compensation claim as a result of such an inaccurate reply. The purchaser’s conveyancers will also order an environmental search. This will higlight whether there is any known flood risk. If so, additional investigations will need to be conducted.

What are the distinct benefits to using a local lawyer in Laceby
Home movers in Laceby choose a local lawyer so that they can pop into the lawyer’s offices in the event that they have questions, and to sign documents rather than relying on the Royal Mail.
Some would argue that there is a marginal edge when using a property lawyer nearby to the property you are hoping to purchase, due to the in-depth knowledge of the region and possible local concerns - yet this is debatable. The majority of conveyancers are now via the web and could be anywhere in the world.
