My lawyer in England Springs is not on the Nottingham Building Society Solicitor Panel. Can I still retain my prefered solicitor even though they are not on the Nottingham Building Society list of approved lawyers?
The limited options available to you here include:
- Carry on with your preferred England Springs solicitors but Nottingham Building Society will need to use a solicitor on their list of acceptable firms. This will result in additional overall conveyancing fees as well as result in delays.

I have paid off my mortgage with Lloyds. I assume I don't need a England Springs solicitor on the Lloyds panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
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

I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the England Springs lawyer is on the UBS conveyancing panel.

If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?
