Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as a 1st time purchaser of a ground floor flat in Seaton Delaval. Do I receive the keys to the house on the completion date from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Seaton Delaval?

On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Seaton Delaval.

It is true that some banks and building societies now utilise CQS as the kick off point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. CQS membership however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to remain on their approved list of firms.

I have paid off my mortgage with Santander. I assume I don't need a Seaton Delaval solicitor on the Santander panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

If you have finished paying off your Santander 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 Santander mortgage from the register. Santander, 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:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where Santander has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Santander has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Santander mortgage has been paid off.

    If a Seaton Delaval lease has less than 80 years it will impact the marketability of the apartment. It is worth checking with your lender that they are happy with the length of the lease.
