I have paid off my mortgage with Leeds Building Society. I assume I don't need a Clowne solicitor on the Leeds Building Society panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

Leeds Building Society, 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 Leeds Building Society has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Leeds Building Society has instructed the Land Registry to do so

On occasion these conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but sometimes there exists a commercial relationship behind the endorsement.

Builders have put forward a property lawyer and I've obtained a quote from them. It's almost two hundred pounds cheaper than my local Clowne property lawyer. What's the catch?
Builders frequently have lists of solicitors who are quick and who know the seller’s contract and conveyancing practitioner. As many developers offer an inducement to select their approved conveyancer for this reason, any increased cost can be avoided and a developer won't recommend a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the conveyancing delayed when they want exchange inside a month. The argument for not agreeing to use the recommended conveyancer is that they may be reluctant to 'push' your interests for fear of alienating the sellers. If you worry that this may be the situation you should remain with your high street Clowne conveyancing practitioner.
