We are selling our home in Notting Hill. Does the property lawyer have to be on the Nottingham conveyancing panel in order to deal with paying off my mortgage?

It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off.

Have purchased a a detached house in Notting Hill , how long should it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my proprietorship? My Notting Hill conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to check that my ownership is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Notting Hill is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than the rest of the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any third persons or bodies. Currently approximately 80% of submission are completed within 12 days but occasionally there can be longer delays. Registration occurs once the purchaser is living at the premises therefore an expedited registration is not usually an essential issue yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer must contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
