There is no definitive answer here. Have Santander done the valuation? Have you informed Santander as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Santander conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

How does conveyancing in Saltdean differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Saltdean contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because house builders in Saltdean typically acquire the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Saltdean or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Saltdean I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Saltdean suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you require a mortgage that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
My sister purchased her house in Saltdean eight years ago. She has got married, divorced and in recent months got married again. She intends to sell the house next moths. I believe she will just be need to provide a copy of her marriage certificates to the conveyancing practitioner however she is concerned it will hold up the conveyancing. Is it worth updating the land title information for the house?
It is not absolutely necessary to bring up to date the title for the property on the basis that you have the evidence needed to demonstrate how the name change occurred.
Any purchaser’s conveyancer should check the registered information and ask for evidence by way of proof of the name change e.g. marriage certificates.
