I was advised today by my IFA that my Rossington the law firm I have appointed is not on the mortgage company Solicitor panel. What can I do to be sure if this is correct?
You need to contact your Rossington conveyancer. You lawyer should inform you what has happened. If they are not on the panel they may recommend you to a Rossington conveyancing practice that is on the conveyancing panel for your bank.
is it true that all Rossington solicitors on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel are governed by the SRA?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel they would need to be overseen by the SRA. Some lenders do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such organisation would be overseen by the CLC.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Principality. I assume I don't need a Rossington property lawyer on the Principality panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Principality 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 Principality mortgage from the register. Principality, 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 Principality has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Principality has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Kent Reliance. Is it usual for Kent Reliance to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Rossington is approved on their conveyancing panel? Kent Reliance have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Kent Reliance to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up as part of conveyancing in Rossington?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Rossington. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

How much will conveyancing in Rossington cost?
Almost all Rossington conveyancing solicitors will agree to a fixed fee. In the event that further work becomes necessary during the conveyancing your property lawyer must inform you in writing of any additional costs for such work as soon as it becomes apparent. Some work on a no move no fee principle, others will charge a percentage of the agreed charges, depending on the point at which the transaction does not proceed.
It is advisable to seek two or three practices to give you an estimate.
