My IFA requires my Bayswater lawyer’ panel member for the Lloyds conveyancing panel. How do I obtain this. I have tried my local Bayswater office but they have not got back to me yet.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Bayswater lawyer . They should have a central record lender panel numbers.
In the event thatI were to acquire a freehold housein Bayswater for cash and dispense with a survey and no conveyancing searches how much would I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Bayswater?
The sole saving you would achieve is the Bayswater conveyancing searches. A conveyancer is required to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, communicating with your vendors conveyancer, stamp duty return, register the property etc. A slight saving might be made by not needing to register a charge but it will not be a lot.

Can I be sure that the Bayswater conveyancing solicitor on the Principality panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Bayswater obtaining recommendations is a sensible starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always advise that you speak with the lawyer carrying out your transaction.
I am expecting a AIP from UBS this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do UBS recommend any Bayswater solicitors on the UBS conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Bayswater solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the UBS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and UBS through the process.
I currently have a mortgage with Santander for my property in Bayswater. Conveyancing was finalised months ago. If I am intending to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Santander?
Santander must be informed of your intention prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Santander’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Santander directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Santander conveyancing panel firm.
