My house in Buckhurst Hill is up for sale and I have accepted an offer. Will my lawyer have to be required to be on the Santander conveyancing panel in order to deal with the discharge of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Santander conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their specifications fairly frequently in recent years.

Can you offer any advice when it comes to appointing a Buckhurst Hill conveyancing practice to deal with our lease extension?

Our property lawyer in Buckhurst Hill is asking me for ID documents stating that this forms part of his retainer as a conveyancer on the mortgage company Solicitor panel. Is this right?
Due to Money Laundering Regulations your conveyancing lawyer is duty bound to confirm positively your identification when entering into a business relationship with you. It is a criminal offence if your lawyer not do this. If you do not provide ID early in the transaction the solicitor must refuse to act for you. It’s unlikely a lawyer will turn you away if you come to the first meeting without relevant ID but you will have to produce it at some point so you might as well bring it with you to the initial meeting so the lawyer can tick the ID verification box and start sorting out the conveyancing straight away. If you are getting a mortgage, your lawyer also has to check ID documents to satisfy the lender. This is not unique to conveyancing in Buckhurst Hill
