Why does the completion date matter?
Mortgage lender requirements change over time. What Santander requires today may not be what Santander required when your transaction completed. Lexsure’s archive lets you check the requirement recorded for the relevant historical date, rather than relying on today’s handbook.

Could the historical requirement help explain a conveyancing problem?
If you are investigating whether something may have been missed during your original conveyancing, the lender requirement that applied at the time may be important evidence. Lexsure can help identify the historical record and, where appropriate, can introduce you to a specialist conveyancing negligence solicitor at no cost to you for the introduction.
Speak to LexsureLexsure may receive a fixed introduction fee from the solicitor firm if you choose to proceed. This does not affect the cost to you.
