I am hoping to receive a mortgage with Santander. I intend to retain the legal services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Newton Heath. Does the Santander Solicitor panel include Licensed Conveyancers?
The Santander approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, represented by the Council or Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.

My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Newton Heath. I need to find out whether they are accepted on the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society approved list of lawyers. Could you help?
You should e-mail the lawyer and ask them if they can act for the bank. Alternatively you should call Norwich and Peterborough Building Society who may be able to assist.
I happen to be the only beneficiary of my late mum's estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Newton Heath. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in September. I plan to dispose of the house. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in September. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook requires solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you may be affected by that. Some banks would take a practical view as this provision primarily exists to pick up on subsales or the flipping of property.
We are getting a further advance on our mortgage from TSB as we wish to carry out improvements to our home in Newton Heath. Do we need to appoint a high street Newton Heath solicitor on the TSB conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
TSB don't usually instruct a member of their conveyancing panel to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the TSB panel.
I am expecting a OIP from HSBC 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 HSBC recommend any Newton Heath solicitors on the HSBC conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Newton Heath solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the HSBC conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and HSBC through the process.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Newton Heath I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Newton Heath suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
In scouring the web for the phrase conveyancing in Newton Heath it reveals many solicitorsin the area. With so much choice what is the best way to find the right solicitor for my move?
The preferential method of choosing the right conveyancer is via personal recommendation, so ask colleagues and family who have purchased a property in Newton Heath or a reputable estate agent or mortgage broker. Charges for conveyancing in Newton Heath differ, so it's sensible to obtain a minimum of three fee calculations from different law firms. Be sure to seek confirmation that the fees are fixed.
