Finally the sale completed on my house in Littleover last February but my buyer keeps calling daily to say her solicitor needs to hear from mine. What should my lawyer have done following completion?
Following your house sale your lawyer is obliged to deliver the transfer deeds and all supplemental paperwork to the buyer’s lawyers. Depending on the transaction, your solicitor should also confirm that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been discharged to the buyers conveyancers. There is unlikely to be post completion requirements just for conveyancing in Littleover.
I am purchasing a garden flat in Littleover. Can I do my own conveyancing?
Leaving aside the complexities and merits of DIY conveyancing in Littleover you will have to appoint a solicitor on your bank's conveyancing panel to look after their interests. Most people therefore find it easier to let the solicitor act for them and the lender. Furthermore there is minimal cost savings to be made in you doing conveyancing for yourself and another lawyer conducting the conveyancing for the lender.

Please help - my lawyer says that breach of easement insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Littleover conveyancing?
The right level of breach of easement indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Accord Mortgages Ltd and The Royal Bank of Scotland. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.
We are getting the release of further funds on our mortgage from RBS as we intend to conduct renovations to our house in Littleover. Are we obliged to appoint a high street Littleover solicitor on the RBS conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
RBS don't usually instruct firms on their conveyancing panel to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the RBS list.
I have paid off my mortgage with Skipton. I assume I don't need a Littleover lawyer on the Skipton panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Skipton 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 Skipton mortgage from the register. Skipton, 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 Skipton has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Skipton has instructed the Land Registry to do so
