I am obtaining a mortgage with Santander. I would like to employ the services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Bishops Cleeve. Does the Santander Solicitor panel exclude Licensed Conveyancers?
The Santander approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, represented by the CML or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

I am selling our property in Bishops Cleeve and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed an online conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Bishops Cleeve. Having lived in Bishops Cleeve for 4 years we know of no issue. Should we contact our local Authority to seek clarification need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one near me in Bishops Cleeve I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Bishops Cleeve in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
Should you need a home loan that many years may be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

What are the specific benefits to instructing a local conveyancing practitioner in Bishops Cleeve
Lots of house movers in Bishops Cleeve select a nearby high street conveyancer so that they can attend the firm’s offices in the event that they have concerns, and to sign mortgage deeds without using the Royal Mail.
One could suggest that there is a slight benefit when selecting a conveyancing practitioner local to the house you are buying, due to the familiarity of the area and potential local issues - however this is moot. The majority of conveyancers are now via email and may be any place in the world.
