If you not getting a mortgage, then the vast majority of the Southfields conveyancing searches are optional. Your conveyancer will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should have searches completed, but she has a professional duty to do this. One thing to consider; if you are intend to dispose of the house in the future, it could be of relevance to your future buyer what the searches reveal.

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Southfields or throughout England and Wales is an adversarial experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of room for conflict between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. For instance, the seller, property agent and even potentially your bank. Selecting a solicitor for your conveyancing in Southfields should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY party in the process whose responsibility is to act in your best interests and to keep you safe.
On occasion a third party with a vested interest will attempt to convince you that it is in your interests to do things their way. As an example, the estate agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your conveyancer is wrong. Or your financial adviser may try to convince you to do take action that is contrary to your conveyancers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.

I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Southfields lawyer is on the Santander conveyancing panel.

The property agent will need to know who your solicitors are (make sure the property lawyers are on the bank’s approved list). Telephone Nationwide or your broker and finish off any relevant forms. Nationwide will instruct a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or vendor to book an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes about a week for the mortgage offer to be issued. Nationwide will send the offer to you and your lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Southfields.
