My wife and I are looking to purchase a property in Melton Constable and are in fact using a Melton Constable conveyancing firm. Within the last couple of days our solicitor has sent a preliminary report and documents to look through in anticipation of exchanging contracts shortly. Aldermore have this morning contacted us to advise us that they have now hit a problem as our Melton Constable lawyer is not on their conveyancing panel. Please explain?
If you are buying a property requiring a mortgage it is normal for the purchasers' lawyers to also represent the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your property lawyer should contact your bank and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You don't have to instruct a firm on the lender’s conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Melton Constable lawyers, in which case it will likely add costs, and it will likely delay the transaction as you are adding another lawyer into the mix.

We are planning to move house in October. Should my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you put forward a removal company in Melton Constable. Conveyancing solicitor was chosen before I stumbled across your site.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the keys from the estate agent however this can only take place once the sellers lawyers inform the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be collected. You can tell the removal company that you are ready to move in. We are not in a position to recommend a particular removal company but can help you locate a conveyancing in Melton Constable or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in Melton Constable.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with RBS. I assume I don't need a Melton Constable solicitor on the RBS panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
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
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Melton Constable off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Aldermore. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Aldermore, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.
