I am hoping to receive a offer of a home loan from Santander. My intention is to employ the services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Broad Haven. Does the Santander Solicitor panel exclude Licensed Conveyancers?
The Santander approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, associated to the Council or Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

Having spent time reviewing consumer advice sites for an online solicitor in Broad Haven, most advise that I should use a CQS assured lawyer. What is CQS?
The Conveyancing Quality Scheme (CQS) provides a kitemark for residential conveyancing practices issued by the Law Society. Membership achievement establishes a level of credibility for member firms with stakeholders (regulators, lenders, insurers and consumers) based upon: * the integrity of the senior responsible officer and other key conveyancing staff * the firm's adherence to good practice management standards * adherence to prudent and efficient conveyancing procedures through the scheme protocol It includes many companies who perform conveyancing in Broad Haven.
The deeds to our house are lost. The conveyancers who handled the conveyancing in Broad Haven 5 years ago are no longer around. Will I be able to sell the house?
Gone are the days when you need to have the physical deeds to evidence that you own the land or property, as the Land Registry have everything they need in a digital format.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Broad Haven is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Broad Haven are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Broad Haven you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Broad Haven may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
Should I use a Broad Haven conveyancing lawyer who is local to the property I am hoping to buy? An old friend can deal with the legal work but they are based approximately 350kilometers away.
The primary upside of using a high street Broad Haven conveyancing practice is that you can attend the office to sign documents, present your identification documents and pester them if necessary. They will also have local knowledge which is a benefit. However it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who used your friend and they were happy that should surpass using an unknown Broad Haven conveyancing lawyer just because they are local.
