My IFA requires my Didcot solicitor’s panel member for the Santander conveyancing panel. How do I find this out. I have tried my local Didcot branch but they have not responded to me.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Didcot solicitor . They should have a central record lender panel numbers.
Please help. My Didcot solicitor is advising me that she is duty bound toorder Didcot conveyancing searches becausethe firm are on the Santanderapproved lawyer panel. Is my solicitor right?
You have limited options available to you. Given that you are taking out a loan with a bank your conveyancer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancing practitioner would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook specifications . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Didcot conveyancing searches.

Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Coventry BS. Didcot conveyancing practitioners have been chosen. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Coventry BS?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Coventry BS done the survey? Have you informed Coventry BS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Didcot is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Didcot are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Didcot you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Didcot may ascertain 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.
