Santander Conveyancing Panel

Conveyancing for Santander Mortgages

Q: How long does Santander conveyancing take?

The time it takes to complete a Santander conveyancing transaction varies depending on the complexity of your case and the property chain. According to Rightmove, the average time from sale agreed to completion in the UK is around 154 days. Factors such as the length of the chain, local authority search turnaround times, and the speed at which enquiries are resolved can all affect your timeline. Our digital-first processes and familiarity with lender's requirements help keep things moving as efficiently as possible.

Q: What are Santander's conveyancing requirements?

Santander requires specific property searches, insurance arrangements, and legal documentation to be completed before releasing mortgage funds. As an approved panel firm, we're fully familiar with these requirements and ensure all conditions are met before completion. This includes local authority searches, environmental checks, and verification that the property meets Santander's lending standards.

Q: Can I use Fletcher Longstaff for Santander remortgaging?

Yes, Fletcher Longstaff handles Santander remortgage transactions as well as purchases. Our panel status covers all types of Santander mortgage work, including product transfers and remortgages. We can assist whether you're switching to a new Santander deal or remortgaging your existing Santander mortgage to release equity or secure better terms.

Q: What happens if my Santander mortgage is declined?

If your Santander mortgage is declined after we've started work, our 'no completion, no legal fee' guarantee means you won't pay our legal fees. You'll only be liable for disbursements (search fees, etc.) that we've incurred on your behalf. This protects you from unexpected costs if your mortgage application doesn't proceed to completion.

Q: How much do Santander panel conveyancing fees cost?

Fletcher Longstaff offers fixed legal fees for Santander conveyancing with no completion, no fee guarantee. Our transparent pricing structure means you'll know exactly what you'll pay upfront, with no hidden charges. The exact fee depends on your property value and transaction type, but you can get an instant quote through our online system.

Q: Are Fletcher Longstaff regulated conveyancers?

Fletcher Longstaff is regulated by the Council for Licensed Conveyancers (CLC). This regulation ensures we meet strict professional standards and maintain appropriate insurance coverage. Our CLC regulation provides consumer protection and gives Santander confidence in our professional competence to handle their mortgage transactions.

Q: Do I need to use a conveyancer near me?

No, you don't. Our conveyancing service is fully digital, so it doesn't matter where you or the property are located. We handle everything remotely: from ID verification to exchange and completion, so there's no need for office visits. We're on the Santander panel nationwide across England and Wales, meaning you get the same fast, professional service whether you're buying in London, Leeds or Llandudno.

I cannot recommend Fletcher longstaff enough. We were first time buyers with a long buying process. Gareth was extremely communicative and helpful throughout. It was actually possible to speak to him on the phone which having experience using other conveyancers ( on previous failed purchases) was never an option. He was very proactive and responsive to my emails. Thank you!

When you find yourself unexpectedly admiring the work of conveyancers, you know you’ve encountered a service that transcends the ordinary, something exceptional – and that’s precisely what Fletcher Longstaff, particularly Craig Dickson, has delivered. In an industry rife with stereotypes of sluggish responses, lack of attention, and impersonal treatment, Craig has shattered these preconceived notions, providing a level of care that redefines what one might even dare to expect from a conveyancer. Craig’s meticulousness and responsiveness weren’t just above average; they were exemplary. Throughout a complicated sale and purchase, he demonstrated a level of diligence and expedience that kept everything running smoothly, even uncovering and addressing issues overlooked by previous conveyancers during the initial purchase and subsequent equity transfer of my property. This wasn’t merely transactional efficiency – it was a kind of focused, almost ethical commitment to getting every detail precisely right. His work transformed an experience known for stress into something unexpectedly manageable, even (and I hesitate to say it) almost enjoyable.

As a first time seller the team at Fletcher Longstaff made the process smooth and efficient! They were always on hand to answer any questions and kept me up to date regularly within the process. I highly recommend the team to anyone buying or selling.

Tom, simply put, was the most straightforward, easy-to-work with and efficient person throughout our entire purchase. We all hear negative comments about solicitors during a property purchase, and at the beginning of our journey we experienced this first hand with solicitors who decided to drop us without a moments notice. Tom and Fletcher Longstaff came recommended and honestly without him I think we could have been delayed by a few months more!
