I am hoping to receive a mortgage offer from Santander. I would like to employ the services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Harton. Does the Santander Conveyancing panel exclude conveyancers regulated by the CLC?

The Santander conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, associated to the CML or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

Completed the sale of my flat in Harton last July but our buyer keeps e-mailing daily to say her conveyancer is waiting to hear from myconveyancer. What are the post completion sale legalities following completion?

After completion of your house sale your conveyancer is obliged to forward the transfer deeds and all additional paperwork to the purchaser's lawyers. Depending on the transaction, your solicitor should also evidence that the mortgage has been repaid to the buyers conveyancers. There is unlikely to be post completion steps just for conveyancing in Harton.

We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The bank mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to use their panel conveyancer as I would much rather use a Harton based conveyancing firm?

You should check but the chances are that appoint one of their panel lawyers should you accept the "fee-free" incentive. Call the mortgage company and determine if they make available a cash alternative.

If you had a top tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Harton what would it be?

Do not opt for the lowest Harton conveyancing fees. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in advance.

We previously instructed conveyancing lawyers based in Harton on the Coventry BS solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a further charge for dealing with the Coventry BS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Coventry BS?

Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your property lawyer can levy a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by Coventry BS but by your Harton property lawyer. Numerous firms on the Coventry BS panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee but plenty of practices include it on their overall fee.

I have instructed a Harton property lawyer having checked that they are on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

Barclays will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Barclays will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your solicitor will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Harton postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Barclays, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Harton.

My father-in-law has suggested that I instruct his lawyers for conveyancing in Harton. Do I take his guidance?

There are no two ways about it the best way to choose a conveyancing lawyer is to get feedback from friends or relatives who have actually previously instructed the firm that you are contemplating using.

Do I need to attend the offices of the bank conveyancing panel solicitor to execute the mortgage deed? If so, I will choose one who does conveyancing in Harton as it will be easier to pop in to their offices when needed.

As opposed to 15 years ago, most lenders no longer require their conveyancing panel solicitor to witness the borrowers signature. You will still be obliged to provide ID Documents and there are still distinct advantages to using a local solicitor, in your case a conveyancing solicitor in Harton.
