I am hoping to receive a offer of a home loan from Nat West. I would like to retain the legal services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Sandwich. Does the Nat West Conveyancing panel exclude Licensed Conveyancers?
The Nat West conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, represented by the CML or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
We were just about to sign contracts for a semi detached house in Sandwich. We have hit a stumbling block. Our loan offer with Birmingham Midshires runs out on 23/5/2025 but the sellers are insisting on a completion date of 28/5/2025. Can one extend the loan expiry date?
The best person to address this issue is your solicitors who should calculate whether they corresponding with the mortgage broker, owner’s representatives, estate agents or indeed all three taking into account the history of your transaction as of today.

Me and my brother have a 4 bedroom Edwardian house in Sandwich. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Alliance & Leicester . I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Sandwich and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also check the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.
How does conveyancing in Sandwich differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Sandwich contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because developers in Sandwich usually buy the land, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Sandwich or who has acted in the same development.
