Me and my husband are purchasing a ground floor flat in Isle of Dogs. My lawyer has never been on on the lender conveyancing list. Am I still permitted to continue with my Isle of Dogs conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the mortgage company panel?

One must have a conveyancer to complete the formalities when you take out a mortgage to buy your property. The conveyancing practitioner will conduct all the appropriate legal checks on the property, ensuring that you’re properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the required mortgage paperwork is dealt with. You could appoint a Isle of Dogs conveyancer of your choosing. Nevertheless, if the lawyer appointed is not a member of the bank approved list additional fees will arise as separate legal representation will be need by the bank. Conveyancing panel applications can be submitted, so if your conveyancer has not in the past sought membership they should do so.

I'm the only beneficiary of my late mum's estate and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Isle of Dogs. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in March. I plan to dispose of the house. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in March. Is the property unsalable for six months?

The CML handbook obliges conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be caught by that. many banks would take a sensible view as this clause is principally there to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of property.

I have paid off my mortgage with Lloyds. I assume I don't need a Isle of Dogs lawyer on the Lloyds panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

If you have finished paying off your Lloyds 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 Lloyds mortgage from the register. Lloyds, 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:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where Lloyds has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Lloyds has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Lloyds mortgage has been paid off.

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Isle of Dogs. I have a mortgage agreed with HSBC. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with HSBC, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the HSBC conveyancing panel.
