My lawyer in New Brighton is not listed on the Santander Conveyancing Panel. Is it possible for me to retain my family solicitor even though they are excluded from the Santander panel?

Your options are as follows:

1. Complete the purchase with your existing New Brighton solicitors but Santander will need to retain a lawyer on their panel. This will inevitably rack up the total conveyancing charges and cause delays.
2. Get an alternative practitioner to to deal with the purchase, remembering to check they are Santander approved.
3. Try to convince your Santander solicitor to seek to join the Santander panel

The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Please supply a car parking plan.
