I am obtaining a offer of a home loan from Nat West. My intention is to use a Licensed Conveyancer in Hopton. Does the Nat West Conveyancing panel exclude Licensed Conveyancers?

My lawyer has uncovered a a legal deficiency with the lease for the property we are purchasing in Hopton. The seller’s lawyers have put forward defective title insurance as a workaround. We are content with insurance and will pay for it. Our property lawyer says that he must check that the mortgage company is happy with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the lender?
Regardless of the fact that you have a mortgage offer from the lender does not mean to say that the property will meet their specifications for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions. You and the lender are the client. These conveyancing instructions have to be complied with.

Where you are using a Hopton conveyancing solicitor they may be able to arrange energy performance certificates given their relationships with long established local assessors
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Virgin Money. I assume I don't need a Hopton property lawyer on the Virgin Money panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Virgin Money 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 Virgin Money mortgage from the register. Virgin Money, 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 Virgin Money has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Virgin Money has instructed the Land Registry to do so
