I am in the process of remortgaging my apartment in Crook, does my lawyer have to be on the Kent Reliance Solicitor panel?
There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Kent Reliance will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is greater potential for delays and confusion with an additional lawyer added to the mix, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.

Given that you have now to all intents and purposes signed on the dotted line you now have to instruct a conveyancing lawyer soon as you will have a pending a fixed date to complete the purchase.

My partner and I have arranged the release of further monies on our home loan from Skipton as we wish to conduct renovations to our home in Crook. Are we obliged to choose a local Crook solicitor on the Skipton conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
Skipton don't usually instruct firms on their conveyancing panel to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Skipton list.
I have paid off my mortgage with Principality. I assume I don't need a Crook conveyancer on the Principality panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Principality 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 Principality mortgage from the register. Principality, 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 Principality has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Principality has instructed the Land Registry to do so
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my house are lost. The lawyers who conducted the conveyancing in Crook 10 years ago are no longer around. What do I do?

What does commercial conveyancing in Crook cover?
Non domestic conveyancing in Crook incorporates a wide range of advice, provided by regulated solicitors, relating to business premises.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my 2 bed flat in Crook. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have just received a yearly maintenance charge invoice – Do I pay up?
It best that you discharge the service charge as usual because all rents and service invoices should be apportioned on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
