I am acquiring a maisonette in Penrhyndeudraeth. My Solicitor has never been on on the lender solicitor list. Am I still permitted to use my Penrhyndeudraeth conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the bank approved list?
One will need to appoint a conveyancer to complete the formalities when you need a mortgage to purchase your property. They will conduct all the appropriate legal checks on the property, ensuring that you’re registered as proprietor and ensure that all the necessary mortgage paperwork is in place. One may appoint a Penrhyndeudraeth conveyancer of your choice. However, if the property lawyer appointed is not on the lender conveyancing panel supplemental charges will be levied as separate legal representation will be required by them. Lender panel applications may be submitted, so if your lawyer has not in the past applied for membership they can do so.

Can you clarify what the consequences are if my lawyer’s firm is suspended from the Nationwide Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Penrhyndeudraeth?
First, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.

A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of the deal.

I have paid off my mortgage with Lloyds. I assume I don't need a Penrhyndeudraeth property lawyer on the Lloyds panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
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
