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.

Should my conveyancer be asking questions concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in Newington.
Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers carrying out conveyancing in Newington. Plenty of people will acquire a house in Newington, fully expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or sell the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Conveyancers are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, but there are a various searches that can be carried out by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which will figure out the risks in Newington. The standard property information forms sent to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a usual inquiry of the owner to discover if the premises has historically flooded. In the event that the premises has been flooded in past and is not notified by the vendor, then a purchaser could issue a legal claim for losses stemming from an misleading response. The buyer’s solicitors should also commission an environmental search. This will indicate if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further inquiries will need to be conducted.
How does conveyancing in Newington differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Newington approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Newington usually acquire the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Newington or who has acted in the same development.
