I am obtaining a offer of a home loan from Santander. My intention is to retain the legal services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Rogiet. Does the Santander Conveyancing panel allow for conveyancers regulated by the CLC?

The Santander approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, represented by the Council or Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.

Please help. My Rogiet conveyancer is advising me that he is legally obliged toorder Rogiet conveyancing searches stemming from the fact thatthe firm are on the Santanderconveyancing panel. Is my solicitor right?

You have limited options available to you. Given that you are taking out a loan with a lender your property lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the CML Handbook requirements . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Rogiet conveyancing searches.

We are buying a house and require a conveyancing solicitor in Rogiet who is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a firm?

Just bought a detached house in Rogiet , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record my title? My Rogiet conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain the registration is concluded.

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Rogiet registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any other parties. Currently in the region of 80% of submission are fully dealt with within 12 days but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Registration takes place once the buyer is living at the property therefore an expedited registration is not typically an essential issue yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

What is the reason for my conveyancing practitioner requiring a list of items of identification ahead of starting my conveyancing in Rogiet?

Rogiet solicitors are obliged by the Law Society, SRA, HM Land Registry and current Money Laundering Regulations to certify that the have verified the identity of their clients. It is also sometimes a condition of your lender if you are obtaining a mortgage. Furthermore they have to complete various forms, particularly those relating to SDLT and need to have information such as your full names, NI number and date of birth.
