My mortgage broker has asked me for my Walworth solicitor’s panel reference for the Santander conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I discover this. I have contacted my local Walworth branch but they have not responded to me.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Walworth conveyancing practitioner . They retain a central record lender panel numbers.

We're in Walworth, FTBs buying with a mortgage (lender is Kent Reliance , and our lawyer is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancing practitioner should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Walworth with a mortgage from Barclays . The sellers would not reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent suggested that I not disclose to my lawyer about the side-deal as it will put at risk my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Walworth is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Walworth are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Walworth you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Walworth may decide 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 property.
