I am need of leasehold conveyancing for a flat in a relatively new development (seven years built) in Binfield. 95% of the properties have already been sold. Do I need carry out the neighbourhood searches for my conveyancing in Binfield?

You would be taking a significant risk in not carrying out Binfield conveyancing searches.

We wanted to use a property lawyer in Binfield for our house move. Our financial adviser has since advised us that our mortgage company Santander won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unduly restrictive?

Lenders in the main restrict either the type or the volume of conveyancing practices on their member panel. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a firm must have two or more partners. As well as restricting the profile of firm, a few lenders have limited the amount of firms they use to represent them. Be aware that Santander have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Santander Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago even though there are differing opinions regarding the level of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry indicate that plenty of law firms, including some in or near Binfield only execute very few conveyances per annum.

I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the matching address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?

You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Binfield and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders.

My conveyancer (who is 250 kilometers awayhas requested that I sign a statutory declaration before completion.
