We wanted to use a conveyancing solicitor in Chirk for our house purchase. Our financial adviser informed us that our bank Nottingham Building Society won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unfair competition?
Before the recession most mortgage companies had an appetite for risk which was higher than today. Almost all Chirk conveyancing firms would have been on many bank panels. The Financial Services Authority in 2010 conducted a thematic review into mortgage fraud which come to the conclusion: know the conveyancing solicitors dealt with. Consequently, lenders are increasingly seeing more data from law firms about their operations and their employees as well as set certain criteria such a completing on a minimum amount of transactions. Many Chirk conveyancing firms that have been excluded from lender panels have Unblemished track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Chirk is amongst the hundreds of locations where the solicitors showing on our search results are members of the panel for Nottingham Building Society.

I have paid off my mortgage with Kent Reliance. I assume I don't need a Chirk lawyer on the Kent Reliance panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Kent Reliance 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 Kent Reliance mortgage from the register. Kent Reliance, 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:

- where Kent Reliance has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
