I am obtaining a offer of a home loan from Santander. I hope to employ the services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Wickford. Does the Santander Solicitor panel exclude conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
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.

I completed on my apartment on 11 September and my personal details are still not registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Wickford expressed confidence that it would be dealt with inside ten days. Are transfers in Wickford uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in Wickford is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any third parties. At present roughly 80% of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted delays. Registration occurs after the purchaser has moved in to the premises so an expedited registration is not typically an essential issue but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers must contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
How does conveyancing in Wickford differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Wickford contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because developers in Wickford usually acquire 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 Wickford or who has acted in the same development.
In what way does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my business property in Wickford and how can you help?
The 1954 Act affords security of tenure to business leaseholders, giving them the right to apply to court for a continuation of occupancy when the lease comes to an end. There are certain specified grounds where a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complex. We are happy to direct you to commercial conveyancing firms who use the act to your advantage and help with commercial conveyancing in Wickford
I am buying a flat mortgage free. I have provided conveyancer with two distinct proof of photo ID, bank statement, numerous utility bills. Now he needs a copy from a probate lawyer acknowledging that the funds are in place and that it has come from inheritance and not selling fake watches.
In today’s world you will not be able to complete any Wickford conveyancing transaction without first providing evidence of your identity to your lawyers. This usually takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence and a utility bill. Remember if you are providing your driving licence as evidence of ID it must be both the paper part and photo card part, one is not acceptable without the other. Evidence of your source of funds is required under Money Laundering Regulations.
