My apartment in Burnley is up for sale and I have accepted an offer. Will my conveyancing practitioner have to be required to be on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel in order to deal with paying off my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Virgin Money 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 requirements fairly frequently at the moment.

I have a mortgage with Nottingham for my property in Burnley. Conveyancing has been completed a year ago. In the event that I decide to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Nottingham?
Nottingham must be informed of your intention in advance of letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Nottingham’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Nottingham directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Nottingham conveyancing panel solicitor.

I previously told by my lender that their approved lawyers operate no move no charge basis for conveyancing in Burnley. I had a purchase fall through and now the conveyancers have requested search fees! They are claiming that the fees are independent!
in promising "no completion no fee" Burnley conveyancing firms are waiving their charges for any work done. We should make it clear that this is NOT an insurance scheme. Disbursements aren’t covered – where the property lawyer have to pay money out to other people, for instance Burnley local search fees
