My flat in Heathfield is up for sale and I have a purchaser. Will my lawyer need to be on the Santander conveyancing panel in order to deal with paying off my mortgage?

The conveyancing solicitors handling our conveyancing in Heathfield has forwarded papers to review that show the land is unregistered with epitome documents. Surely all houses in Heathfield should be registered?
Although the vast majorities of properties in Heathfield are now registered with the Land Registry there are still some that are unregistered. Any property in Heathfield that has been purchased since the late 1980’s will have been registered at the HMLR under the compulsory ‘first registration’ scheme. However, if a Heathfield property has not changed hands in that time then it’s likely the old fashioned title deeds will be the only evidence of ownership.Many Heathfield conveyancing lawyers will be able to handle this type of conveyancing but in the event that uncertainty prevails the usual recommendation presently seems to be for the seller’s conveyancer to register it first and subsequently sell - this this chain of events will cause a significant delay.
