I am getting a mortgage offer from Santander. My intention is to employ the services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Leyton. Does the Santander Solicitor panel exclude conveyancers regulated by the CLC?

The Santander approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, associated to the CML or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.

How do I find out if the solicitor conducting my conveyancing in Leyton is on the bank’sconveyancing panel? I am looking to avoid the situation of having one lawyer for me and one for thus paying £192.00 in further conveyancing costs.

Feel free to make use of the search tool on this web page. Please choose the lender and type ‘Leyton’ or your location and you will see a number of lawyer offices in Leyton or by proximity to you.

It has been 4 months following my purchase conveyancing in Leyton completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?

It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Leyton with a loan from . The builders refused to budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The estate agent suggested that I not inform my lawyer about the extras as it could jeopardize my mortgage with . Should I keep quiet?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
