My IFA requires my Derby lawyer’ panel reference for the Santander conveyancing panel. What is the best way to obtain this. I have called my local Derby office but they have not got back to me yet.
Have you tried calling your Derby property lawyer about this?. Most Derby law firms will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each lender.
Finally the sale completed on my house in Derby last December but our buyer keeps Skype messaging every few hours to say their lawyer is waiting to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale legalities now that I have sold?
After completion of your sale your solicitor is obliged to send the transfer documentation and all of the paperwork to the buyer’s solicitors. Depending on the transaction, your lawyer should also confirm that the home loan has been redeemed to the purchasers lawyers. There is unlikely to be post completion procedures specific conveyancing in Derby.

What is the difference between a licensed conveyancer and conveyancing solicitor in Derby
Two types of professional can execute conveyancing in Derby namely licenced conveyancers or solicitors. Both professionals administer the legal services that you need to complete the sale or purchase of property. They are both required to execute Derby conveyancing on similar quality and guidelines so you may be sure that your conveyancing will be professionally conducted and that all requisite procedures will be correctly adhered to.
I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in March 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Nationwide are being pedantic. The Derby solicitor who is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Nationwide are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Nationwide have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Nationwide have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Nationwide may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
At last I have had an offer on an apartment in Derby agreed to, but there is a chain. The vendors have offered on a flat, however it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other flats booked. I have chosen a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Derby. What do I do now? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Virgin Money?
It is normal to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Derby conveyancing search charges, etc). The first thing to do is check that your lawyer is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. As to the next stages this very much dictated by the specifics of your transaction, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market the majority of purchasers would apply for the mortgage with Virgin Money and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their lawyer to proceed with the conveyancing in Derby.

I work for a reputable estate agent office in Derby where we have experienced a few flat sales put at risk as a result of short leases. I have received inconsistent advice from local Derby conveyancing firms. Could you confirm whether the seller of a flat can instigate the lease extension process for the buyer?
Provided that the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to commence the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the buyer need not have to wait 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done prior to, or simultaneously with completion of the sale.
Alternatively, it may be possible to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.
I am the registered owner of a basement flat in Derby, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Comparable flats in Derby with an extended lease are worth £206,000. The ground rent is £45 yearly. The lease runs out on 21st October 2090
With just 65 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to be between £13,300 and £15,400 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
