I am expecting a mortgage with Nat West. I intend to enlist the help of a Licensed Conveyancer in Dore. Does the Nat West Conveyancing panel allow for conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Nat West conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, associated to the Council or Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
Is it realistic for conveyancing in Dore to be finalised within a month?
First, If you are under pressure to sign contracts it is highly recommended that your solicitor is familiar with the location as they will have local relationships and intelligence. It is possible that they could have transacted previoushomes in the same street. You would be best advised to use a Dore conveyancing lawyer. Second, check that the lawyer is on the member panel. It is claimed that just under twenty per cent of Dore conveyancing deals are suspended or jeopardised after discovering a purchaser’s solicitor was not on their banks member panel. In many cases this discovery resulted in the home move being frustrated by as much as 21 days. It is believed that this issue impacts in the region of one hundred thousand home sales annually. Most Dore conveyancing practices can not act for certain mortgage companies so do check as early as possible.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as FTB of a garden flat in Dore. Do I collect the keys to the premises on completion from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Dore?
On the day of completion you do not need to go to the conveyancers office in Dore. Your solicitors will arrange to send the completion advance to the seller's lawyers, and once they have received this, you will be invited to receive the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.
When it comes to mortgage companies such as RBS, do Dore lawyers face a fee to be on the list of approved solicitors?
We are not aware of any mortgage company fees to be on their panel, although some do levy an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Barclays. I assume I don't need a Dore conveyancer on the Barclays panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Barclays 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 Barclays mortgage from the register. Barclays, 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 Barclays has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Barclays has instructed the Land Registry to do so

Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Dore in advance of instructing conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. The surveyor has said that some lenders will refuse to issue a loan on a flying freehold house.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Dore. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
How can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my commercial property in Dore and how can you help?
The 1954 Act provides protection to business leaseholders, granting the legal entitlement to make a request to court for a renewal tenancy and continue in occupation at the end of an expired lease. There are certain specified grounds where a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are involved. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.
