My IFA has asked me for my Wimborne law firm’s panel member for the Santander conveyancing panel. What is the best way to find this out. I have called my local Wimborne branch but they have not responded to me.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Wimborne conveyancing practitioner . Most Wimborne conveyancing firms will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each lender.

Me and my partner are purchasing a property in Wimborne. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a lawyer? On the day of competition we have to deposit our life savings into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our money?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
We expect to receive a OIP from Leeds Building Society this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Leeds Building Society recommend any Wimborne solicitors on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Wimborne solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Leeds Building Society through the process.
After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Wimborne. My financial adviser suggested a conveyancer. I paid an upfront payment of £175. Soon after, the lawyer contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Lloyds panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
My friend suggested that where I am buying in Wimborne I should ask my conveyancer to perform a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?

Have completed on a a detached house in Wimborne , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing the transfer to my name? My Wimborne conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to check that my purchase is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Wimborne is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any other persons or bodies. Currently approximately 80% of such applications are fully addressed within 12 days but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Historically registration is effected once the new owner has moved in to the premises thus an expedited registration is not always an essential issue yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on last month in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Wimborne is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Wimborne are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Wimborne you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Wimborne 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 residence.
