I am considering applying for a Santander mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Tonyrefail with 60% loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Santander ?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Santander conveyancing panel, but Santander would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.
I got the keys to my apartment on 1 May and my personal details are still not on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Tonyrefail said it will be recorded inside ten days. Are transfers in Tonyrefail particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Tonyrefail registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any interested parties.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Tonyrefail I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Tonyrefail in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.
