My home in Erdington is up for sale and I have accepted an offer. Does my property lawyer have to be required to be on the Principality conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Principality 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 currently.

Local searches are not likely to feature in any delay in conveyancing in Erdington.
I have todayfound out that Action Conveyancing have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Erdington for a purchase of a leasehold flat 9 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?
