I have paid off my mortgage with Nottingham. I assume I don't need a Wickersley conveyancing practitioner on the Nottingham panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
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
My husband and I are novice buyers - agreed a price, yet the selling agent told us that the seller will only move forward if we instruct the agent's recommended lawyers as they need a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a local conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Wickersley
It is improbable the owners are behind this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Try to communicate with the owners directly and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to use your preferred Wickersley conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or hit his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by head office.
Builders have put forward a solicitor and I've sought an estimate from them. They are nearly £300 cheaper than my preferred Wickersley property lawyer. Should I use them?
Housebuilders frequently have lists of property lawyers who are quick and who know the developer’s paperwork and solicitor. Plenty of developers offer an incentive to select their approved conveyancing practitioner for this reason, any increased cost can be avoided and a builder will not recommend a conveyancing warehouse and run the risk of having the conveyancing stall when they require an exchange inside a month. The argument for not agreeing to use the recommended conveyancing practitioner is that they may prove unwilling to 'push' your interests for fear of upsetting the developer. Where you have concerns that this may be the situation you should remain with your local Wickersley conveyancer.
