Me and my partner are buying a ground floor flat in Quorn. My Conveyancer is not on the bank conveyancing panel. Is it possible for me to use my Quorn conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the bank panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
Your options include

- Convince your conveyancer to pull out all the stops to join the mortgage company conveyancing panel

Following the demise of Home Packs, EPC’s became a mandatory component of moving property. An energy assessment needs to be commissioned in advance of the property being put on the market.

Where you are instructing a Quorn conveyancing practitioner they might help arrange energy assessments due to their contacts with long established local energy assessors
I have paid off my mortgage with Nationwide. I assume I don't need a Quorn solicitor on the Nationwide panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Nationwide 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 Nationwide mortgage from the register. Nationwide, 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 Nationwide has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Nationwide has instructed the Land Registry to do so

I purchased a terraced Georgian house in Quorn. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Leeds Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the matching address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Quorn and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also question the position with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the conveyancing.
