We're in Buckinghamshire, FTBs purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Santander , and our solicitor is on the Santander conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Santander conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

Should one remove a deceased person's name from the title deeds for a house in Buckinghamshire?
If a Buckinghamshire property is jointly owned and one of the owners dies, the name will not automatically be removed from the title deeds. It is not necessary to remove their name as in the event of a disposal you would just be required to evidence as to the reason the co owner is not included in the contract, normally this takes the form of the probate documents.
With a view to making things more straight forward for the sale of the property you may arrange to have the deceased person erased from the title entries by submitting an application to HM Land Registry with proof of the death. There is no charge from the Registry for this service.
