I had a mortgage agreed in principle with Co-operative. Buxton conveyancing lawyers were appointed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Co-operative?

There is no definitive answer here. Have Co-operative completed the valuation? Have you informed Co-operative as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Co-operative conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

I have paid off my mortgage with RBS. I assume I don't need a Buxton property lawyer on the RBS panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

If you have finished paying off your RBS 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 RBS mortgage from the register. RBS, 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:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where RBS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. RBS has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your RBS mortgage has been paid off.

I have justfound out that Stirling Law have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Buxton for a purchase of a leasehold flat 9 months ago. How can I check that the property is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?

My husband and I are new to the buying process - had an offer accepted, but the property agent advised that the vendor will only move forward if we appoint their chosen conveyancers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family solicitor who is accustomed to conveyancing in Buxton

It is improbable the vendors are driving this. Should the owner require ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Contact the vendors directly and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to appoint your preferred Buxton conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will give the estate agent a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing figures pre-set by head office.
