I have just been advised by my lender that my Knebworth property lawyer is not on the bank Conveyancing panel. How can I be sure if this is correct?
The best course of action for you to take is to call your Knebworth lawyer directly. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to notify you of the situation. Where they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the approved list of lawyers for your lender.
we are a couple who are buying a newbuild flat in Knebworth with a residential mortgage from Santander.We have a Knebworth conveyancing lawyer but Santander advised that her practice is not on their "panel". It seems we have little choice but to instruct a Santander panel lawyer or keep our local solicitor and pay for a Santander panel lawyer to act for them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The loan issued to you is subject to its various provisions, one of which will be that solicitors will be on the Santander approved list. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Santander
My wife and I purchased a 4 bedroom Victorian house in Knebworth. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Nottingham Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Knebworth and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also check the position with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.

I need to retain a conveyancing solicitor for some conveyancing in Knebworth. I've stumble across a web site which looks to be the perfect answer If there is a chance to get all this stuff done via phone that would be ideal. Do I need to be wary? What should out be looking out for?
As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
On the look out for a conveyancing solicitor in Knebworth. I thought I had one sorted but he's not on the approved list of Santander. It seems that nowadays most lenders only allow conveyancing practitioners on their panel. Very annoying restricting the choice for the paying public. Can you suggest a trustworthy Knebworth lawyer that can assist us as well as represent Santander?
