Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Broughton Astley conveyancing searches.
What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Broughton Astley? Is this really necessary?

I have paid off my mortgage with Leeds Building Society. I assume I don't need a Broughton Astley lawyer on the Leeds Building Society panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Leeds Building Society mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Leeds Building Society mortgage from the register. Leeds Building Society, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Leeds Building Society has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Leeds Building Society has instructed the Land Registry to do so

As far as conveyancing in Broughton Astley registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry need to notify any 3rd persons or bodies.

Registration takes place once the new owner has moved in to the premises so post completion formalities is not always an essential issue but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
