I am hoping to receive a mortgage with Santander. My intention is to use a Licensed Conveyancer in Roehampton. Does the Santander Conveyancing panel allow for conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Santander conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, represented by the CML or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
As someone not used to conveyancing in Roehampton what is your top tip you can give me for the house moving process in Roehampton
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Roehampton or throughout England and Wales is an adversarial experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of room for conflict between you and others involved in the house moving process. For example, the vendor, property agent and sometimes your lender. Appointing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Roehampton is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE person in the process whose role it is to act in your best interests and to keep you safe.
We are witnessing a worrying ongoing adversarial element to conveyancing- someone has to be blamed for the process being so protracted. We recommend that you should always trust your solicitor ahead of all other parties when it comes to the legal assignment of property.
We are purchasing a property in Roehampton. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a solicitor? At some point we have to send funds into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our deposit?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Leeds Building Society. I assume I don't need a Roehampton conveyancing practitioner on the Leeds Building Society panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Leeds Building Society mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Leeds Building Society mortgage from the register. Leeds Building Society, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Leeds Building Society has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Leeds Building Society has instructed the Land Registry to do so
Nottingham have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on a property in Roehampton has been agreed to, what happens next?
The property agent will wish to know who your solicitors are (be sure the conveyancing practitioners are on the bank’s approved list). Telephone Nottingham or your broker and finalise any appropriate paperwork. Nottingham will sellect a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or vendor to arrange an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes on average a week for the mortgage offer to be issued. Nottingham will send the offer to you and your property lawyers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Roehampton.
I'm refinancing my existing home to a BTL mortgage with Alliance & Leicester and I will use the ballance of the raised equity as a down payment on further property.

Make use of our comparison tool on this page to check that the solicitors are on the relevant lender panels. Having checked that they are your conveyancer should be able to tie up the two transactions but you should have a chat with you solicitor and make apparent your expectations and requirements.
