I am expecting a offer of a home loan from Nat West. I intend to enlist the help of a Licensed Conveyancer in Blackpool. Does the Nat West Solicitor panel exclude conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Nat West conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, associated to the Council or Mortgage Lenders or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
My house in Blackpool is up for sale and I have a buyer. Will my solicitor need to be on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel in order to deal with paying off my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Kent Reliance 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 conditions fairly frequently currently.

I have todaydiscovered that Stirling Law have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Blackpool for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 10 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest way to check if the property is registered to you, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Blackpool conveyancing specialists.
I decided to have a survey done on a house in Blackpool prior to retaining lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. The surveyor has said that some mortgage companies may refuse to issue a mortgage on a flying freehold home.
