I am getting a offer of a home loan from Santander. I hope to employ the services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Chadderton. Does the Santander Solicitor panel allow for Licensed Conveyancers?
The Santander conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, associated to the CML or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.

What is your number one tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Chadderton
We would encourage you not to go for the lowest Chadderton conveyancing quote. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of the deal.
My uncle informed me that in purchasing a property in Chadderton there could be a number of restrictions preventing external alterations to the property. Is this right?
We are aware of a number of properties in Chadderton which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to external variations. Part of the conveyancing in Chadderton should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.
We previously instructed solicitors located in Chadderton on the Clydesdale solicitor panel. They have just billed me a further amount for handling the Clydesdale mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Clydesdale?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your solicitor is entitled to levy a fee for this. This fee is not set by Clydesdale but by your Chadderton lawyer. Plenty of firms on the Clydesdale panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but many practices incorporate it on their overall fee.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my property are lost. The solicitors who handled the conveyancing in Chadderton 10 years ago no longer exist. What are my next steps?
Assuming you have a registered title the information relating to your proprietorship will be documented by the Land Registry with a Title Number. It is easy to conduct a search at the Land Registry, locate your house and obtain current copies of the Registered Entries for a small fee. If the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases hold a file duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be ordered for £20 inclusive of VAT.
