I am expecting a mortgage offer from Santander. My intention is to retain the legal services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Trimdon. Does the Santander Solicitor panel include conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Santander approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, represented by the CML or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
What will a local search reveal about the property we're buying in Trimdon?
Trimdon conveyancing often starts with the submitting local authority searches directly from your local Authority or via a personal search company for instance Onsearch The local search is essential in every Trimdon conveyancing purchase; as long as you wish to avoid any nasty once you have moved into your new home. The search should supply data on, amongst other things, details on planning applications applicable to the premises (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of thirteen topic sections.
I used Arc property Solicitors several years past for my conveyancing in Trimdon. I now require my papers however the law firm has closed. What do I do?

You will need to provide the SRA with as much information as possible to assist their search, including the name and address in Trimdon of the conveyancing firm of solicitors you previously hired, the name of conveyancing solicitor with whom you had dealings, and the date on which you last had dealings with the firm.
We're first time buyers - agreed a price, but the property agent advised that the vendor will only go ahead if we appoint the agent's chosen solicitors as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Trimdon
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this demand. Should the owner want ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Try to communicate with the owners directly and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to appoint your preferred Trimdon conveyancing firm - not the ones that will provide their negotiator at the agency a kickback or achieve conveyancing targets pre-set by senior management.
What do I do if I am dissatisfied with the conveyancer who undertook my conveyancing in Trimdon?
We live in an imperfect world, and is is a fact of life that sometimes matters do not go as planned. However there is recourse if you were unhappy with your conveyancing in Trimdon. This varies from trying to resolve matters directly with them, through to reporting a solicitor to their governing body. If things still aren’t sorted out you may consider getting in touch with the Legal Ombudsman.
