I am hoping to receive a mortgage offer from Santander. I hope to employ the services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Barnes Cray. Does the Santander Solicitor panel include Licensed Conveyancers?
The Santander conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, associated to 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 to identify firms on the Darlington Building Society conveyancing panel for instance in Barnes Cray?
We would not expect to be advised of any plans on the part of the BSA to promote such a search facility.
My wife and I are purchasing a flat in Barnes Cray. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a lawyer? On the day of competition we have to deposit money into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our deposit?
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.
This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as a first time purchaser of a two bedroom flat in Barnes Cray. Do I collect the keys to the property on the completion date from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will find a local conveyancing solicitor in Barnes Cray?
On the day of completion you do not need to go to the conveyancers office in Barnes Cray. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the completion advance to the seller's lawyers, and once they have received this, you will be able to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.
Is there a list of Santander panel solicitors in Barnes Cray on the Building Society Association’s Website?
Unfortunately not yet. There is no such facility on the CML or Building Society Association sites. Very few mortgage companies make their panel listings available online. Where you are looking for a Barnes Cray property lawyer on the Santander please make the most of our tool.
How does conveyancing in Barnes Cray differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Barnes Cray approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because house builders in Barnes Cray typically purchase 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 Barnes Cray or who has acted in the same development.
