My wife and I are hoping to acquire a home in Hambleton and have appointed a Hambleton conveyancing practice. Within the last couple of days our solicitor has forwarded the sale agreement to be signed with a detailed report with a view to exchanging next week. Clydesdale have this evening contacted us to inform me that they have now hit a problem as our Hambleton conveyancer is not on their approved list of lawyers. Please explain?
When purchasing a property with mortgage finance it is standard for the purchasers' lawyers to also represent the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your solicitor should contact your mortgage company and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on the lender’s conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Hambleton solicitors, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it may delay matters as you have another set of people involved.
Would the conveyancing lawyers that you recommend execute conveyancing in Hambleton by way of an attended exchange?

We are purchasing a property in Hambleton. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a solicitor? At some point we have to send money into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our money?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
We are due to move property in November. Should my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you put forward a removal company in Hambleton. Conveyancing firm was found prior to coming across your site.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the keys from your estate agent but this should only take place once the vendors solicitors advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be passed over. Subsequently you will need to advise the removal company that they can start moving you in. We are not in a position to recommend a specific removal company but can help you locate a conveyancing in Hambleton or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Hambleton.
I have paid off my mortgage with Nottingham. I assume I don't need a Hambleton conveyancer on the Nottingham panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Nottingham 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 Nottingham mortgage from the register. Nottingham, 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 Nottingham has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Nottingham has instructed the Land Registry to do so

How does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my business premises in Hambleton and how can you help?
The particular law that you refer to gives security of tenure to business leaseholders, giving them the legal entitlement to make a request to court for a continuation of occupancy at the end of an expired lease. There are limited grounds where a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complex. We are happy to direct you to commercial conveyancing practices who use the act for protection and help with commercial conveyancing in Hambleton
