is it true that all Cricklewood conveyancing solicitors on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel are governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel they would need to be governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. The majority of mortgage companies do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such firms would be regulated by the CLC.
I have paid off my mortgage with Skipton. I assume I don't need a Cricklewood lawyer on the Skipton panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Skipton 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 Skipton mortgage from the register. Skipton, 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 Skipton has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Skipton has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in January 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Skipton are being pedantic. The Cricklewood solicitor who is on the Skipton conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Skipton are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Skipton have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Skipton have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Skipton may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
I have justbeen informed that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Cricklewood for a purchase of a leasehold flat 18 months ago. How can I check that the property is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?

As is the case with many service providers, often input from relatives can be most helpful. Nevertheless there are numerous people with a vested interest in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, financial adviser and lenders might all put forward conveyancers to instruct. On occasion these solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but occasionally there behind the scenes commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You are free to appoint your preferred lawyer. You need to be aware that most mortgage providers specify a panel list of conveyancers you have to use for the lender related work in your home move.
