My financial adviser says he needs my Sprotbrough lawyer’ panel reference for the Santander conveyancing panel. What is the best way to find this out. I have tried my local Sprotbrough office but they have not responded to me.

Have you tried calling your Sprotbrough conveyancer about this?. Most Sprotbrough law practices will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each bank.

In the event thatI was to acquire a freehold homein Sprotbrough mortgage fee and have no survey and no conveyancing searches how much would I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Sprotbrough?

Any savings you would make would be limited to the Sprotbrough conveyancing searches. A conveyancer still got to do everything else - money laundering, correspond with your sellers solicitor, stamp duty submission, register the property etc. A slight saving might be made by not needing to register a charge but it will not be a lot.

We previously chose solicitors with offices in Sprotbrough on the Santander solicitor approved list. They are now charging me an additional fee for handling the Santander mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Santander?

Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your conveyancing practitioner is entitled to charge a fee for this. The charge is not set by Santander but by your Sprotbrough lawyer. Plenty of firms on the Santander panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee but plenty of practices include it on their overall fee.

The mortgage over my property is with Aldermore for my property in Sprotbrough. Conveyancing was finalised months ago. If I am intending to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Aldermore?

Your original mortgage agreement with Aldermore will provide that you need their approval prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Aldermore’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Aldermore will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Aldermore directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Aldermore conveyancing panel solicitor.

I've read lots of house buying guides, I note that it is considered advisable to get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Sprotbrough solicitor - who is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. Is that normal?

Clydesdale will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Clydesdale will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your conveyancer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Sprotbrough postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Clydesdale, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Sprotbrough.

I have been told that property searches are the number one reason for hinderance in Sprotbrough conveyancing transactions. Is this right?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released determinations of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the common causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Local searches are unlikely to feature in any delay in conveyancing in Sprotbrough.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Sprotbrough?

Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Sprotbrough. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

I am using a search engine for the words on line conveyancing in Sprotbrough it reveals numerous conveyancersin the area. How do I determine which is the suitable conveyancing solicitor for the sale of my house?

The preferential way of finding a suitable conveyancer is through a trusted referral, so ask friends and those you trust who have bought a property in Sprotbrough or the local estate agent or mortgage broker. Costs for conveyancing in Sprotbrough vary, so it's advisable to request at least three fee estimates from different solicitors.
