Is the fact that my solicitor in Great Stanmore is not on my lender's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of his work?
It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of plausible explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. If you are concerned you should simply call the Great Stanmore conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.
When it comes to lenders such as Kent Reliance, do Great Stanmore conveyancers incur an annual charge to be on the list of approved solicitors?
We are not aware of any bank fees to be on their panel, although some do levy an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.

When it comes to conveyancing in Great Stanmore obtaining recommendations is a good starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer.

We would always suggest that you speak with the solicitor conducting your transaction.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Bank of Ireland. I assume I don't need a Great Stanmore property lawyer on the Bank of Ireland panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Bank of Ireland 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 Bank of Ireland mortgage from the register. Bank of Ireland, 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 Bank of Ireland has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Bank of Ireland has instructed the Land Registry to do so
