I am selling my apartment in Little Hampton. Will my conveyancing practitioner need to be required to be on the RBS conveyancing panel in order to deal with repayment of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the RBS conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale.

You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their specifications fairly frequently at the moment.

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Little Hampton registration formalities.
