It has come to my attention via my broker that my Ongar lawyer is not on the mortgage company Conveyancing panel. How can I be sure whether this is correct?

We are due to move house in September. Does my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you recommend a removal company in Ongar. Conveyancing lawyer was organised prior to coming across your website.

On the day of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from your property agent however this should only occur once the vendors conveyancers confirm to the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be released. Subsequently you can inform the removal men that they can start moving you in. We are not in a position to suggest a particular removal organisation but can help you choose a conveyancing in Ongar or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Ongar.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Santander. I assume I don't need a Ongar conveyancing practitioner on the Santander panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

If you have finished paying off your Santander 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 Santander mortgage from the register. Santander, 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:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where Santander has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Santander has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Santander mortgage has been paid off.

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
