I am selling my flat in Stokesley. Does the lawyer need to be required to be on the Nottingham conveyancing panel in order to deal with paying off my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Nottingham 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 conditions fairly frequently in recent years.
I am aiming to move house in November. Should my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Stokesley. Conveyancing lawyer was organised before I stumbled across this page.
On the day of completion you can collect the keys from the selling agent however this should only take place once the sellers conveyancers advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be given over. After that you will need to tell the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal organisation but can assist you in choosing a conveyancing in Stokesley or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Stokesley.
My wife and I are spending time looking at apartments in Stokesley and I am about to put in an offer. Is it too early to have a solicitor in place? I intend to finance via a mortgage with Bank of Ireland.
It would be advisable to start your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the estate agent. As you are seeking a mortgage with Bank of Ireland, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
After much negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Stokesley. My financial adviser recommended their conveyancers. I paid an upfront payment of £150. A couple of days later, the solicitor called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Aldermore panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

As long as you have a registered title the information relating to your ownership will be retained by HMLR under a Title Number. It is easy to carry out a search at the Land Registry, locate your property and order current copies of the property title for less than a fiver. Where the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will also normally retain a certified copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for a small fee.

I am looking for a flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Stokesley I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Stokesley in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
