I am not in a position to travel far from Mansfield. I would like to know the logic why all Mansfield conveyancing practitioners aren't automatically on all lender panels?
As unjust as it may appear for lenders to restrict who can act for them, from the public’s or conveyancer’s point of view, the the contrary view is that lenders are increasingly anxious and feel it essential to protect them from illegal activities. As a result of this concern lenders are limiting their panel of approved conveyancing lawyers to a size that they are happy to control.
Having sold my house in Mansfield last August but our buyer keeps telephoning me to say their solicitor is waiting to hear from mysolicitor. What are the post completion sale formalities following completion?
Following your disposal your solicitor is obliged to forward the transfer documentation and all of the paperwork to the purchaser's conveyancer. Where relevant, your conveyancer must also evidence that the home loan has been redeemed to the purchasers solicitors. There are no post completion procedures just for conveyancing in Mansfield.
I currently have a mortgage with Nationwide for my property in Mansfield. Conveyancing was finalised some time ago. Should I wish to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Nationwide?
Nationwide must be informed of your intention in advance of renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Nationwide’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Nationwide directly. You need not do this via a Nationwide conveyancing panel solicitor.
After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Mansfield. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their property lawyer. I paid an advanced payment of £175. Shortly after, the conveyancing practitioner contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Coventry BS panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by UBS. Is it usual for UBS to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Mansfield is approved on their conveyancing panel? UBS have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for UBS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the UBS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme.
