My husband and I are purchasing a 3 bedroom apartment in Sunbury with a loan from Santander.We would like to retain our Sunbury conveyancing solicitor but Santander informed us she’s not listed on their approved list of firms. It seems we are left with little choice but to instruct a Santander panel lawyer or keep our local solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Santander use our lawyer?
No, not really. The loan offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that solicitors must be on the Santander approved list. Until recently, most banks had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Santander

Some major banks and building societies now use the accreditation scheme as the kick off point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander.

I purchased my apartment on 11 July and the transaction details are still not on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Sunbury expressed confidence that it would be concluded in a couple of weeks. Are titles in Sunbury uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in Sunbury is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any third persons or bodies. As of today in the region of 80% of submission are fully dealt with within 12 days but occasionally there can be longer delays. Registration is effected after the new owner has moved in to the premises thus an expedited registration is not always top priority but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor should contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
