We are selling our house in Aldeburgh. Does the property lawyer need to be required to be on the Nottingham conveyancing panel in order to deal with repayment of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Nottingham 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.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the home moving as FTB of a garden flat in Aldeburgh. Do I receive the keys to the house on the completion date from my solicitor? If so, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Aldeburgh?
On the day of completion you do not need to attend the conveyancers office in Aldeburgh. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the purchase money to the seller's conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be called to collect the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.
After months of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Aldeburgh. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an advanced payment of £200. Soon after, the lawyer contacted me to say that they were not on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Lloyds panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
Lloyds have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a house in Aldeburgh has been agreed to, what happens next?
Your property agent will need to be informed of your conveyancing practitioner's details (ensure that the conveyancing practitioners are on the bank’s panel). Call up Lloyds or your broker and complete any relevant documentation. Lloyds will sellect a valuer who will get in touch with the estate agent or seller to arrange an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes approximately ten days for the mortgage offer to be issued. Lloyds will issue the offer to you and your property lawyers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Aldeburgh.

The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.

Should one as executor remove a departed person's details from the title deeds for a property in Aldeburgh?
If a Aldeburgh property is jointly owned and one of the owners dies, the name will not immediately be removed from the title deeds. You are not required to remove their name as when it comes to a sale your conveyancer would just be required to evidence why the joint proprietor is not included in the transfer, normally this takes the form of a grant of probate.
With the aim of making things simpler in the future you can arrange to have the deceased person removed from the title by submitting an application to HM Land Registry with evidence of the death. There is no fee from the Registry for this service.
