They will carry out all the essential investigations on the property, make sure that you’re properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the required mortgage documentation is in place. One could select a Deeside conveyancer of your choosing. Nevertheless, if the solicitor selected is not a member of the lender approved list additional costs will be incurred as separate legal representation will be required by them. Conveyancing panel applications may be submitted, so provided your conveyancer has not in the past applied for membership they should take the chance to apply.

For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
