We are selling our apartment in Llanfyllin. Does the conveyancer have to be required to be on the Aldermore conveyancing panel in order to deal with paying off my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Aldermore 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 conditions fairly frequently at the moment.

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:

- where Skipton has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Skipton has instructed the Land Registry to do so

My wife and I have recently had an offer agreed on a house and had an appointment on Tuesday with the Post Office for the mortgage. They advised us that when it comes to selecting a lawyer that if they are not on their approved panel of property lawyers then we will incur an extra charge of about two hundred pounds. This is is due to the fact that they would then have to appoint a property lawyer to act on their behalf in addition to the one we select on our behalf and we are liable for their fees. I have requested the Post Office to provide me with a list so I can obtain quotes only from their approved conveyancers but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. Is their an easier way of going about this?
Ask the Post Office what their criteria for joining their panel is for a conveyancer.Thereafter ask the conveyancing practitioner of your choice whether they meet the criteria and have they acted on mortgages for the Post Office previously. Where the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with the Post Office. Alternatively please make use of our search facility and we should be able to identify a conveyancer in Llanfyllin on the panel for the Post Office.
