I am getting a mortgage offer from Lloyds. My intention is to instruct a Licensed Conveyancer in Woodingdean. Does the Lloyds Solicitor panel include conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Lloyds conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, represented by the CML or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
It is is a decade since I bought my property in Woodingdean. Conveyancing lawyers have now been instructed on the sale but I am unable to find the title documents. Is this a major issue?
Don’t worry too much. First there is a chance that the deeds will be kept by your lender or they may still be with the lawyers who acted in the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers procuring up to date copy of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Woodingdean involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is not registered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.

When it comes to lenders such as Virgin Money, do Woodingdean conveyancing practitioners incur a fee to be on the list of approved solicitors?
We are unaware of any bank fees to be on their list of approved firms, although some do levy an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.
We previously instructed conveyancing lawyers based in Woodingdean on the Nottingham solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a supplemental amount for the legal aspects of the Nottingham mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Nottingham?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your conveyancing practitioner may levy a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by Nottingham but by your Woodingdean conveyancer. Plenty of firms on the Nottingham panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.

The estate agent will want to know who your solicitors are (be sure the conveyancers are on the bank’s panel). Telephone Santander or your broker and finish off any outstanding paperwork. Santander will sellect a valuer who will get in touch with the estate agent or seller to schedule a slot for the valuation to happen. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes about ten days for the mortgage offer to be issued. Santander will send the offer to you and your conveyancing practitioners. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Woodingdean.
