Your property lawyer should review the registered title as conveyancing in Enfield Lock will on occasion identify restrictions in the title documents which prevent categories of changes or necessitated the consent of a 3rd party.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Enfield Lock. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Yorkshire BS be concerned?
As your lender is Yorkshire BS your lawyer must follow the conveyancing instructions outlined in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Yorkshire BS. The CML Handbook contains minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Yorkshire BS where a lease does not comply with these requirements. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not limited to Enfield Lock.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Lloyds. I assume I don't need a Enfield Lock lawyer on the Lloyds panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Lloyds 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 Lloyds mortgage from the register. Lloyds, 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 Lloyds has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Lloyds has instructed the Land Registry to do so
