In the event thatI was to purchase a straightforward housein Tonbridge mortgage fee and have no survey and no conveyancing searches how much could I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Tonbridge?
The only saving you would make on is the disbursement for searches. Your property lawyer is obliged to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, liaising with your sellers property lawyer, SDLT submission, register the title etc. A slight saving might be made by not needing to register a mortgage but it will not be meaningful.

Tonbridge conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Nationwide conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Nationwide directly.
We are aiming to move home in August. Does my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you recommend a removal company in Tonbridge. Conveyancing solicitor was found before I stumbled across this website.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the keys from your estate agent but this should only take place after the vendors lawyers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be passed over. After that you can advise the removal company that you are ready to move in. We do not suggest a particular removal organisation but can help you find a conveyancing in Tonbridge or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in Tonbridge.
I have paid off my mortgage with Santander. I assume I don't need a Tonbridge conveyancer 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:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Santander has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Santander has instructed the Land Registry to do so
It is not clear whether my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Tonbridge building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they will lend. My Tonbridge conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they will not lend in accordance with their published requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
Your conveyancing practitioner must comply with the CML Handbook section two conditions for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank 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 lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
