My IFA says he needs my Coven lawyer’ panel member for the HSBC conveyancing panel. What is the best way to find this out. I have tried my local Coven branch but they cant find it on their system.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Coven conveyancing practitioner . Most Coven law practices will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each mortgage company.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Coven. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Principality be concerned?
As your lender is Principality your lawyer must check the conveyancing instructions outlined in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Principality. The CML Handbook includes minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Principality where a lease fails to comply with these provisions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not isolated to Coven.
We expect to receive a AIP from HSBC this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc).

You will need to appoint Coven solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the HSBC conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and HSBC through the process.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with RBS. I assume I don't need a Coven conveyancing practitioner on the RBS panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
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:
- but are not moving to another property
- where RBS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- RBS has instructed the Land Registry to do so
