My IFA has requested my Wallingford lawyer’ panel reference for the Nationwide conveyancing panel. What is the best way to find this out. I have called my local Wallingford branch but they have not responded to me.
You are best placed to get this information from your Wallingford solicitor . Most Wallingford law firms will retain a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each mortgage company.
We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The bank mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to appoint their panel solicitor as I would much rather use a specialised conveyancing solicitor in Wallingford?
Do check but the chances are that give you one of their panel conveyancers should you accept the "fee-free" deal. Speak to the lender to check if they offer you a cash alternative. In the past a few lenders offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case that money can go towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor in Wallingford.
Does a directory service exist listing Virgin Money panel conveyancers in Wallingford on the Building Society Association’s Website?
Unfortunately not yet. There is no such directory service on the CML or Building Society Association websites. A small selection of lending institutions make their panel listings open the public online. Where you are seeking to appoint a Wallingford lawyer on the Virgin Money please use our facility.
I have paid off my mortgage with Nottingham. I assume I don't need a Wallingford property lawyer on the Nottingham panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Nottingham 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 Nottingham mortgage from the register. Nottingham, 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 Nottingham has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Nottingham has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I can not fathom if my lender requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Wallingford building society branch on numerous occasions and was told it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Wallingford conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called to say that they refuse to lend based on their specific requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
Your property lawyer has to comply with the CML Handbook Part 2 requirements for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank 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 bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

In my capacity as executor for the will of my uncle I am selling a residence in Monmouth but I am based in Wallingford. My solicitor (who is 200 miles awayrequires that I execute a statutory declaration prior to completion. Could you suggest a conveyancing practitioner in Wallingford who can attest this legal document for me?
Technically speaking you are not likely to need to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily any notary public or qualified solicitor will be fine regardless of whether they are Wallingford based
