We are selling our house in Otford. Does the solicitor need to be required to be on the Skipton conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Skipton 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 requirements fairly frequently at the moment.

Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. 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. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified.
I'm remortgaging my primary home to a BTL mortgage with Leeds Building Society and intend to use the remaining equity as a down payment on another house. The neighborhood we are interested in is Otford. Will your solicitors be able to act for the two banks and link together the conveyances?

I have just placed an offer on an apartment in Otford and the estate agent that we are using suggested his solicitor. He quoted £800 excluding VAT and 3rd party costs. Does this sound expensive?
You should not rely on 1 estimate. One should obtain like-for-like quotes for your conveyancing in Otford. Then choose one that you trust and crucially, is on the approved panel of the lender that you have applied for a mortgage from.
