Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Roundhay is not identified on my mortgage company's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of the firm’s work?
That would more than likely be a wrong assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator indicated that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) lack of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Where you are concerned you should contact the Roundhay conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.

I am assisting my sister sell her property in Roundhay. Will the conveyancer arrange the energy assessment or should I organise this?
Following the abolition of Home Packs, energy assessments was maintained a mandatory element of moving house. An energy assessment should be to hand prior to the property being advertised. It is not a task that conveyancers ordinarily organise. Where you are using a Roundhay conveyancing solicitor they might be able to arrange energy assessments due to their contacts with reputable local accredited person
Can I be sure that the Roundhay conveyancing solicitor on the Aldermore panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Roundhay getting recommendations is a good start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always advocate that you speak with the solicitor conducting your transaction.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Nationwide. I assume I don't need a Roundhay solicitor on the Nationwide panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
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
Various online forums that I have frequented warn that are the number one cause of hinderance in Roundhay house deals. Is this right?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the conclusions of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the common causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Local searches are not likely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in Roundhay.
