Banks normally restrict either the category or the amount of conveyancing practices on their member panel. A common example of such criteria being that a firm must not be a sole practitioner. As well as restricting the profile of firm, a few lenders have limited the amount of solicitor practices they use to represent them. Be aware that The Royal Bank of Scotland have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of The Royal Bank of Scotland Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a primary driver in the reduction of conveyancing panels a few years ago even though there remains mixed opinions about the level of solicitor engagement in some of that fraud.

I have a mortgage with Nottingham for my property in High Peak. Conveyancing was finalised a year ago. Should I wish to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Nottingham?

Your original mortgage agreement with Nottingham will provide that you need their approval prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Nottingham’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Nottingham directly. You need not do this via a Nottingham conveyancing panel lawyer.

Local searches are not likely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in High Peak.

My wife and I own a 4 bedroom Victorian property in High Peak. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Skipton Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?

You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in High Peak and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing practitioner who carried out the work.
