Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Bagillt. Is there a reason why all Bagillt solicitors are not on all bank panels?
Mortgage Companies ordinarily impose restrictions on either the type or volume of conveyancing solicitors on their approved list of lawyers. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a organisation is required to have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the structure of firm, some lenders decided to restrict the size of their panel they permit to act for them. It is worth noting that banks have no accountability for the accuracy of conveyancing provided by any Bagillt property lawyer on their panel. Property fraud was the main trigger for the culling of conveyancing panels from 2008 even though there are contrary opinions concerning whether solicitors sat at the center of that fraud. Statistics from HMLR indicates that thousands of law firms only conduct less than three conveyances annually. Those vindicating conveyancing panel cuts question why law firms deserve claim to remain on a lender panel when it is evident that property law is not their speciality?

Is it correct that all Bagillt CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Nationwide conveyancing panel?
A selection of banks and building societies now use the accreditation scheme as the kick off point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. CQS accreditation however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to remain on their approved list of conveyancing solicitors.
How can we tell if a Bagillt conveyancing solicitor on the Co-operative panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Bagillt obtaining recommendations is a good start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always advocate that you speak with the solicitor carrying out your transaction.
I have paid off my mortgage with Aldermore. I assume I don't need a Bagillt property lawyer on the Aldermore panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Aldermore 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 Aldermore mortgage from the register. Aldermore, 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 Aldermore has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Aldermore has instructed the Land Registry to do so

My wife and I have a semi-detached Victorian property in Bagillt. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Virgin Money. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Bagillt and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also enquire as to the situation with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the work.
