I plan on purchasing an apartment in Tibshelf. My lawyer is not on the mortgage company solicitor list. Am I still permitted to continue with my Tibshelf conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the mortgage company approved list?
One must have a conveyancing practitioner to complete the formalities if you need a loan to purchase your home. They will conduct all the relevant due diligence on the property, ensuring that you’re registered as proprietor and ensure that all the necessary mortgage documentation is in order. You can select a Tibshelf conveyancer of your choice. Nevertheless, where the lawyer appointed is not on the bank solicitor panel additional fees will arise as separate legal representation will be required by them. Lender panel applications can be submitted, so provided your solicitor has not previously sought membership they should take the opportunity to apply.
How do I investigate if the solicitor carrying out my conveyancing in Tibshelf is on the mortgage lender’sconveyancing panel? I am looking to avoid the situation of having one lawyer for me and one for Accord Mortgages Ltd thus spending £175.00 in another set of conveyancing charges.

I have paid off my mortgage with Principality. I assume I don't need a Tibshelf conveyancing practitioner on the Principality panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Principality 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 Principality mortgage from the register. Principality, 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 Principality has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Principality has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I can not fathom if my lender requires a lease extension. I have called my Tibshelf building society branch on various occasions and was reassured it wasn't an issue and they will lend. My Tibshelf conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend in accordance with their published requirements. I have no idea who is right.
As long as the solicitor is on the mortgage company approved list, she or he must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook specifications for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in September 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Aldermore are being pedantic. The Tibshelf solicitor who is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Aldermore are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Aldermore have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Aldermore have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Aldermore may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
