We wanted to use a conveyancing solicitor in Worcester Park for our house purchase. Our financial adviser has since advised us that our bank Santander won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unfair competition?
Mortgage Companies tend to restrict either the type or the volume of conveyancing practices on their panel. Typical examples of such restriction(s) being that a law practice must have two or more partners. As well as restricting the profile of firm, some have limited the amount of firms they use to act for them. You should note that Santander have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Santander Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a primary driver in the reduction of solicitor panels since 2008 even though there are differing opinions concerning the extent of solicitor engagement in some of that fraud. Data from the Land Registry reveal that plenty of law firms, including some in or near Worcester Park only conduct one or two conveyances a year.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Coventry BS. I assume I don't need a Worcester Park solicitor on the Coventry BS panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Coventry BS 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 Coventry BS mortgage from the register. Coventry BS, 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 Coventry BS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Coventry BS has instructed the Land Registry to do so

There are only Sixty One years remaining on my flat in Worcester Park. I need to extend my lease but my freeholder is can not be found. What options are available to me?
If you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be extended by the Court. However, you will be required to demonstrate that you have done all that could be expected to locate the freeholder. For most situations an enquiry agent would be helpful to carry out a search and to produce an expert document which can be accepted by the court as proof that the landlord is indeed missing. It is wise to seek advice from a solicitor both on proving the landlord’s absence and the vesting order request to the County Court overseeing Worcester Park.
