My house in Pelsall is up for sale and I have a buyer. Does my solicitor have to be on the Santander conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Santander conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their specifications fairly frequently at the moment.
I purchased my apartment on 13 November and the transaction details is not yet on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Pelsall advises it will be recorded in a couple of weeks. Are properties in Pelsall particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Pelsall registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry have to notify any third parties. At present roughly three quarters of submission are fully dealt with within two weeks but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Registration is effected after the buyer is living at the premises so an expedited registration is not always primary concern yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers should contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

My partner and I may need to rent out our Pelsall basement flat for a while due to a new job. We used a Pelsall conveyancing practice in 2004 but they have closed and we did not think at the time get any guidance as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?
Notwithstanding that your last Pelsall conveyancing lawyer is not available you can check your lease to check if it allows you to sublet the property. The accepted inference is that if the lease is silent, subletting is permitted. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you are obliged to seek permission via your landlord or some other party before subletting. The net result is you not allowed to sublet without first obtaining consent. Such consent should not be unreasonably withheld. If your lease does not allow you to sublet you should ask your landlord for their consent.
