Find a Lender-Approved Local Conveyancer in Clevedon

I can't travel far from Clevedon. Is there a reason why all Clevedon conveyancers aren't automatically on all mortgage company panels?

Even though it may seem unfair for lenders to restrict who can act for them, from the public’s or conveyancer’s standpoint, the flip side is that lending institutions are increasingly anxious and consider it necessary to shield themselves from mortgage fraud. As a consequence of this concern mortgage companies are limiting their panel of approved conveyancing lawyers to a size that they are happy to control.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with TSB. I assume I don't need a Clevedon property lawyer on the TSB panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

If you have finished paying off your TSB 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 TSB mortgage from the register. TSB, 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 TSB has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
3. TSB has instructed the Land Registry to do so

The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your TSB mortgage has been paid off.
