Finally the sale completed on my house in Chipping Barnet last August but our buyer keeps calling daily complaining that her lawyer needs to hear from mine. What should have happened now that I have sold?

we are a couple who are hoping to buy a newly converted flat in Chipping Barnet with a homeloan from Bank of Scotland.We have a Chipping Barnet conveyancing solicitor but Bank of Scotland says his firm is not on their approved list of member firms. We have to appoint a Bank of Scotland panel solicitor or retain our high street solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Bank of Scotland use our lawyer?

Unfortunately,no. The mortgage issued to you contains terms and conditions, one of which will be that conveyancers will be on the Bank of Scotland conveyancing panel. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Bank of Scotland

I am buying a property in Chipping Barnet. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Nationwide have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?

Given that your lender is Nationwide your lawyer must follow the conveyancing requirements contained in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Nationwide. The CML Handbook stipulates minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Nationwide where a lease does not meet these specifications. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not isolated to Chipping Barnet.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Santander. I assume I don't need a Chipping Barnet conveyancer on the Santander panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

If you have finished paying off your Santander 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 Santander mortgage from the register. Santander, 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:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where Santander has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Santander has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Santander mortgage has been paid off.

The deeds to our property can not be found. The lawyers who dealt with the conveyancing in Chipping Barnet 5 years ago are no longer around. What are my next steps?

It is easy to conduct a search at the Land Registry, identify your house and get up to date copies of the Registered Entries for a small fee.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Chipping Barnet with a mortgage from National Westminster Bank. The sellers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead.
