Your estate agent will need to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the property lawyers are on the bank’s panel). Contact Santander or your financial adviser and finalise any outstanding documentation.

Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes on average a week for the mortgage offer to be issued. Santander will send the offer to you and your solicitors. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Dersingham.
After what feels like an age I have had an offer on a maisonette in Dersingham accepted, the vendors do nevertheless have a connected purchase. The owners have placed an offer on a property, however it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other apartments booked. I have instructed a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Dersingham. What do I do now? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with Virgin Money?
It is understandable to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs too early (mortgage application is approx £1k, then valuation, Dersingham conveyancing search charges, etc). The first thing to do is check that your solicitor is on the Virgin Money approved list. As to the subsequent steps this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. In a hot market the majority of home buyers will apply for the mortgage with Virgin Money and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their conveyancing practitioner to press on with searches.
My aunt completed her conveyancing in Dersingham in 2005. She has been married, widowed and has recently married again. She wishes to market the property next moths. I believe she will just be requested to provide a copy of her marriage papers to the conveyancer however she is concerned it will delay the conveyancing. Is it worth updating the land title documents for the property?
It is not absolutely necessary to update the register providing you have the evidence needed to show how the change of name resulted.
The purchaser’s lawyer should check the registered information and requisition evidence to establish the change of name for example marriage documentation.
