I had an offer accepted on a property in Navenby on 8/9/2026, valuation was booked 3 days after, received a clean bill of health. Solicitor instructed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Santander and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Santander conveyancing panel. Are Santander entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Santander to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Santander conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
Our offer on a house in Navenby has been accepted, the vendors do nevertheless have an associated purchase. The sellers have offered on a property, however it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other properties in the pipeline. I have selected a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Navenby. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Skipton going?
It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then survey, Navenby conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you should check that your lawyer is on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Concerning the subsequent stages this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your transaction, desire for the property and on the state of the market. In a rising market the majority of buyers would apply for the mortgage with Skipton and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their conveyancing practitioner to press on with the conveyancing in Navenby.

Plenty Navenby leasehold flats will incur a service bill for maintenance of the block invoiced by the landlord. If you purchase the flat you will have to meet this liability, normally periodically during the year. This could differ from several hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for large purpose-built blocks. There will also be a rentcharge to be met annual, this is usually not a exorbitant amount, say around £25-£75 but you need to check as occasionally it can be many hundreds of pounds. The best form of lease arrangement is if the freehold reversion is owned by the leaseholders. In this arrangement the leaseholders have control and although a managing agent is frequently employed if the building is bigger than a house conversion, the managing agent acts for the leaseholders themselves. Is there a share of the freehold?
Why am I unable to complete our conveyancing in Navenby on May bank holiday?
Because on completion the purchase price needs to pass between the banks of the purchaser and seller's conveyancer and currently this can only take place on a working day. So you can't complete on a weekend either.
