I am hoping to receive a offer of a home loan from Santander. I intend to instruct a Licensed Conveyancer in Reddish. Does the Santander Solicitor panel allow for conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Santander approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, associated to the CML or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

It is 10 years ago since I purchased my home in Reddish. Conveyancing lawyers have just been retained on the sale but I can't track down my title deeds. Will this cause complications?
You need not be too concerned. First the deeds may be retained by the mortgage company or they could be archived with the solicitor who acted in your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Reddish relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.
What happens if my solicitor is expelled from the Leeds Building Society Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Reddish?
First, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.
