My apartment in Llanallgo is up for sale and I have a buyer. Does my lawyer have to be on the RBS conveyancing panel in order to deal with the discharge of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the RBS conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. 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 panel criteria fairly frequently in recent years.

Our sealed bid on a detached house in Llanallgo has been agreed to, the vendors do nevertheless have a tied purchase. The vendors have offered on on an apartment, but it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other apartments booked. I have chosen a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Llanallgo. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Principality going?
It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Llanallgo conveyancing search costs, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your solicitor is on the Principality conveyancing panel. As to the next steps this very much dictated by the specifics of your case, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. In a hot market some purchasers will apply for the mortgage with Principality and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their conveyancing practitioner to proceed with searches.
