I am purchasing a ground floor flat in Dunmow. My Solicitor has never been on on the mortgage company solicitor list. Can I still appoint my Dunmow conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the bank list of approved lawyers?
One will need to instruct a solicitor to deal with the legal work required when you require a mortgage to buy your property. The conveyancer will conduct all the relevant investigations on the property, make sure that you’re registered as proprietor and ensure that all the necessary mortgage paperwork is in place. One may appoint a Dunmow solicitor of your choosing. Nevertheless, where the property lawyer appointed is not a member of the lender solicitor panel additional costs will be levied as separate legal representation will be required by them. Lender panel applications can be submitted, so provided your conveyancer has not historically sought membership they should take the opportunity to apply.

Does a directory service exist listing Yorkshire BS panel conveyancers in Dunmow on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?

A small selection of lending institutions make their panel listings open the public over the internet. If you are seeking to appoint a Dunmow conveyancer on the Yorkshire BS please use our facility.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Clydesdale. I assume I don't need a Dunmow property lawyer on the Clydesdale panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Clydesdale 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 Clydesdale mortgage from the register. Clydesdale, 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 Clydesdale has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Clydesdale has instructed the Land Registry to do so
Intending to buy a apartment in Dunmow. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Dunmow solicitor is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel.
I purchased a semi-detached Georgian property in Dunmow. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Barclays Direct. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Dunmow and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also check the position with the conveyancing solicitor who completed the work.
I opted to have a survey carried out on a house in Dunmow before appointing solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the house. My surveyor advised that some banks tend not give a mortgage on this type of house.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Dunmow.
