It has come to my attention via my IFA that my Brighstone the law firm I have appointed is not on the mortgage company Solicitor panel. What can I do to check?
The first thing you need to do is to contact your Brighstone conveyancer. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to notify you of the situation. Where they are not on the panel they may be able to suggest a Brighstone conveyancing practice that is on the conveyancing panel for your mortgage company.
My conveyancer has informed me that defective lease insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Brighstone?
The appropriate level of defective lease indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between Accord Mortgages Ltd and Barnsley Building Society. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.
is it true that all Brighstone conveyancing solicitors on the RBS conveyancing panel are regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As solicitors, in order to be on the RBS conveyancing panel they would need to be governed by the SRA. The majority of banks do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such practice would be regulated by the CLC.
I have paid off my mortgage with Clydesdale. I assume I don't need a Brighstone property lawyer on the Clydesdale panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Clydesdale 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 Clydesdale mortgage from the register. Clydesdale, 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 Clydesdale has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Clydesdale has instructed the Land Registry to do so
