My apartment in Sonning Common is up for sale and I have a purchaser. Does my lawyer have to be on the Skipton conveyancing panel in order to deal with the discharge of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Skipton conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their specifications fairly frequently at the moment.

I'm converting the mortgage on my existing property to a buy to let mortgage with Clydesdale and I will use the ballance of the raised equity towards another house.

We're FTB’s - had an offer accepted, yet the estate agent informed us that the vendor will only issue a contract if we use the agent's chosen lawyers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family conveyancer who is accustomed to conveyancing in Sonning Common
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this ultimatum. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are serious buyers (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to use your preferred Sonning Common conveyancing firm - rather thanthose that will provide their estate agent a kickback or achieve conveyancing thresholds set by HQ.
