Santander for Intermediaries solicitor panel

When you buy a property with a mortgage, it is recommended that you use a law firm approved by your lender. At Lockings Solicitors, we are on the Santander solicitor panel, meaning we can represent Santander in a transaction, whether you are using the lender directly or going through Santander for Intermediaries.

As panel members, we are able to report directly to Santander and to request your mortgage advance from them when we are ready to complete your purchase.

If your conveyancer is not authorised to act for your lender, it is likely to cause delays and extra expense, so it is important to make the right choice at the outset.

Our conveyancing solicitors are highly experienced and are used to dealing with complex and fast-moving transactions. We have a reputation for excellence, and are rated highly by both our clients and the Law Society, which has awarded us its Conveyancing Quality Scheme accreditation.

We offer a FREE initial chat so that you can ask us any questions you may have about purchasing a property with a Santander loan.

Call us on 01482 300 200, email us at welcome@lockings.co.uk or fill in our Free Online Enquiry and we will call you back promptly. We have offices in Beverley, Hull and York and represent clients across the country in freehold sales and purchases. We also deal with leasehold sales and purchases and newbuild purchases for local properties.

The benefits of choosing Lockings Solicitors for your purchase

We move you up to three weeks faster than the national average

Once you find a property to buy, we know that you will want to move things along. We always work proactively from the start to ensure that we reach the exchange of contracts as soon as possible.

By keeping in touch with the solicitors for your seller and, where applicable, your buyer, along with the estate agent, we ensure that others are also working to progress matters. If we are waiting for information or replies to enquiries, we will chase these up regularly to avoid anything falling through the cracks.

We also work with our clients from very early on, so that we can get off to a fast start as soon as they find the right property and have an offer accepted.

These strategies enable us to complete purchases for our clients up to three weeks faster than the national average.

If you want to move quickly, call us today, and we can discuss how to set your transaction up for success from the outset. This is particularly important if you have a related sale, as we can let you have the preliminary forms to fill in now so that we can issue the contract package straightaway once you have a buyer, and the chain is complete.

We work to minimise the risk of a transaction falling through

Delays and the failure to deal with complex legal problems promptly can endanger a property purchase. Our team members are highly experienced and, should difficulties arise, we will know how to resolve them.

By tackling issues straightaway, we can avoid unnecessary delays and give your purchase the best chance of success.

In addition, by keeping in contact with other parties and aiming to be ready to exchange contracts as soon as possible, the risk of failure is reduced. It is sometimes the case that if a conveyancer does not work to progress matters effectively, a seller may cut their losses and pull out, to try to find a buyer who is able to go ahead promptly.

Santander for Intermediaries solicitor panel

The Santander solicitor panel is a list of conveyancing solicitors authorised by Santander to represent them in a property purchase. At Lockings, we are on the Santander panel and able to act for them whether you are arranging your mortgage through them directly or by using Santander for Intermediaries.

We will carry out the due diligence work they require and provide them with the certificate they will need in order to forward your mortgage advance to us prior to completion.

In addition, we are on the approved solicitor panels for all high street lenders. If you were to use a conveyancer who was not authorised by your lender, you might have to change law firms during the purchase process. Alternatively, your lender could require you to pay for their own legal team to carry out the necessary legal work. Both options would delay your purchase and also result in extra expense.

Our advice to you will be clear and jargon-free

We know that property law can seem complex, and our team members will provide you with clear explanations in plain English of any relevant matters. We will take the time to talk through any issues or concerns with you, ensuring that you have the information you need to make the right decision.

We respond promptly and keep you updated as to progress

We are easy to contact, and if you ask us to call you, we will always do so promptly. In addition, we will provide you with regular updates so that you know how far along your transaction is, and what needs to happen next. When we need something from you, we will give you as much notice as we can.

We hold independent accreditation and are rated as Excellent

The Law Society has awarded us its Conveyancing Quality Scheme mark, which acknowledges that we meet their high standards. This covers issues such as the provision of strong legal advice, robust risk management, and outstanding client care.

Our clients rate us as Excellent, and we hold in excess of 900 reviews on Google. Of the clients questioned, 98% would recommend us.

Our services are great value for money

Our conveyancing is great value for money, and our services are provided by expert conveyancing solicitors with many years of experience.

It is straightforward to instruct us and set up your transaction with our team
