We are selling our flat in Dorking. Will my property lawyer need to be on the Nottingham conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Nottingham conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their specifications fairly frequently in recent years.

I am the sole beneficiary of my late mum's estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Dorking. The Dorking property was put into my name in January. I want to move. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership will be considered the same way as though I had purchased the property in January. Will no one buy the property for half a year?

The CML handbook instructs solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be impacted by that. many lenders would take a sensible view as this requirement chiefly exists to capture subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of property.

Is it the case that all Dorking solicitors on the Co-operative conveyancing panel are regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?

As solicitors, in order to be on the Co-operative approved list of solicitors they would need to be overseen by the SRA. Many mortgage companies do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the practice would be governed by the CLC.

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Dorking off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Bank of Ireland. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Bank of Ireland, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel.

Given that I will soon spend hundreds of thousands of pounds on 3 bedroom house in Dorking I would like to have a conversation with the conveyancer regarding thetransaction before appointing the firm. Can this be arranged?

Absolutely - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you liaising with the lawyer who will be doing your property ownership legalities in Dorking.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is unique person, not a case number. The law firms that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are quoted for residential conveyancing in Dorking should be the figure that you are charged.
