I am hoping to receive a offer of a home loan from Santander. I intend to retain the legal services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Flint. Does the Santander Solicitor panel allow for Licensed Conveyancers?
The Santander conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, represented by the Council or Mortgage Lenders or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
Do the Building Society Association intend to launch a search tool with a view to list practices on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel for instance in Flint?
Lexsure has not been advised of any intention on the part of the BSA to develop such a tool.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Flint is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Flint are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Flint 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 Flint may ascertain 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 premises.
