Why do I have to pay up front for my conveyancing in Oxshott?
Where you are retaining lawyers for conveyancing in Oxshott your solicitor will ask you to provide them with monies to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches. Ordinarily this is needed to cover the fees of the Local Authority Search. If any deposit is as part of the purchase price then this will be needed immediately in advance of contracts are exchanged. Any further balance that is needed should be sent to your lawyer shortly before completion.
I have a decision in principle. The bank mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to use their panel lawyer as I would much rather use a specialised conveyancing solicitor in Oxshott?
Do check but the the probability is that give you one of their panel solicitors if you take up the "fee-free" deal. Speak to the bank and determine if they make available a monetary alternative. In the past a few mortgage companies offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case you could put that amount towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor near Oxshott.

I have paid off my mortgage with Lloyds. I assume I don't need a Oxshott solicitor on the Lloyds panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Lloyds 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 Lloyds mortgage from the register. Lloyds, 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:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Lloyds has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Lloyds has instructed the Land Registry to do so
My offer was accepted on a property in Oxshott on 24/7/2026, valuation was booked 2 days after, all came back fine. Conveyancer instructed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Co-operative and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Co-operative to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

My husband and I are new to the buying process - had an offer accepted, but the selling agent has warned us that the seller will only proceed if we instruct the agent's preferred conveyancers as they need a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local conveyancer used to conveyancing in Oxshott
