I am hoping to receive a offer of a home loan from Santander. I intend to retain the legal services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Shillington. Does the Santander Solicitor panel exclude Licensed Conveyancers?
The Santander approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, represented by the Council or Mortgage Lenders or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
My wife and I are buying a property in Shillington. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a solicitor? On the day of competition we will need to put funds into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our monies?

Are all Shillington Conveyancing Quality Solicitors on the Skipton conveyancing panel?
Some major banks and building societies now utilise CQS as the starting point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander.

That being said,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to remain on their approved list of conveyancing solicitors.
It is unclear whether my lender requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Shillington building society branch on a couple of occasions and was advised it wasn't a problem and they will lend. My Shillington conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called and was told they refuse to lend based on their published requirements. Who do I believe?
Your conveyancer has to follow the CML Handbook section two requirements for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

How does conveyancing in Shillington differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Shillington come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because new home sellers in Shillington typically purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Shillington or who has acted in the same development.
