My wife and I are about to exchange on the purchase of a property in Rendlesham but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have managed to agree recompense from the owner in the sum of £3k by way of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of a side agreement yet Santander will not permit this. Should they have been approached?
The lawyer being on the Santander conveyancing panel is obliged to advise Santander of any amendments to the purchase price. If you prohibit your solicitor to notify the price change to Santander then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Santander and you would have to appoint a new solicitor for your conveyancing in Rendlesham.
My apartment in Rendlesham is up for sale and I have a buyer. Will my solicitor need to be on the Santander conveyancing panel in order to deal with the discharge of 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 conditions fairly frequently at the moment.
I acquired my house on 3 April and my personal details are still not on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Rendlesham said it would be dealt with in less than a month. Are transfers in Rendlesham uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Rendlesham registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any 3rd parties. Currently roughly 80% of such applications are completed within 12 days but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Historically registration is effected after the purchaser is living at the premises thus an expedited registration is not usually an essential issue but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

There are a number of houses in Rendlesham on unadopted lanes. I am purchasing such a house. What are the advantages and disadvantages of purchasing a house on a private road?
Rendlesham conveyancing lawyers will be familiar with conveyancing houseson unadopted roads. The conveyancing practitioner will investigate title to find any rights or liabilities. It is possible that there is a management company (wholly owned by residents) that proprietors pay into for the upkeep of the road. Where there is one, the road should be maintained and appear better than council adopted.
