I have paid off my mortgage with Principality. I assume I don't need a Hethersett property lawyer on the Principality panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

- where Principality has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Principality has instructed the Land Registry to do so
After what seems like an age I have had an offer on an apartment in Hethersett accepted, but there is a chain. The sellers have placed an offer on on an apartment, however it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other properties in the pipeline. I have selected a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Hethersett. What should be my next step? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with HSBC?
It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (home loan application is approx £1k, then survey, Hethersett conveyancing search charges, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your property lawyer is on the HSBC approved list. Concerning the subsequent stages this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. During a rising market the majority of purchasers would apply for the mortgage with HSBC and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their solicitor to press on with the conveyancing in Hethersett.

My nephew is embarking on her first house purchase, he had his mortgage in principle. After the offer was accepted on house we contacted the building society to progress the mortgage application. I was shocked to hear that mortgage companies do not accept all conveyancing practitioner, they must be on their panel, is this right?
Banks tend to restrict either the type or the number of conveyancing firms on their panel. Typical examples of such restriction(s) being that a firm must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some have decided to limit the number of firms they use to represent them. You should note that banks have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any Hethersett lawyer on their panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago and whilst there are differing views about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry reveal that thousands of law firms only carry out one or two conveyances a year. Those supporting conveyancing panel cuts ask why law firms should have the right to be on a Lender panel when clearly, conveyancing is not their speciality. To put it another way; would you want a conveyancing solicitor to represent you if you were charged with a crime? Presumably not.
