I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with RBS. I assume I don't need a Wilmslow conveyancing practitioner on the RBS panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your RBS 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 RBS mortgage from the register. RBS, 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 RBS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- RBS has instructed the Land Registry to do so
Have purchased a a detached house in Wilmslow , how long should it take for the Land Registry to record my ownership? My Wilmslow conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be certain the land registry aspects are addressed.
As far as conveyancing in Wilmslow registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any third parties.

Historically registration occurs after the buyer is living at the property thus an expedited registration is not typically an essential issue but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

I am buying a garden maisonette in Wilmslow. Conveyancing lawyer is waiting for, from the vendor, building insurance documents. Earlier today I was advised that the vendor must forward the insurance paperwork for the flat above as well. Why does my solicitor need to check the insurance for the flat above?

It is not unheard of in leasehold conveyancing in Wilmslow to find Conveyancing in Wilmslow in a minority of cases reveals that the lease provides for the leasehold owners to insure their individual flats rather than the freeholder insuring the complete building - which is clearly better. Do check with your conveyancer but it would seem that your property lawyer is looking to verify that the whole building is insured. Insuring your residence is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the other flat cannot be reconstructed as a result of lack of insurance cover.
