I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Bank of Ireland. I assume I don't need a Dockland Settlement solicitor on the Bank of Ireland panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

If you have finished paying off your Bank of Ireland 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 Bank of Ireland mortgage from the register. Bank of Ireland, 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:

1. but are not moving to another property
2. where Bank of Ireland has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
3. Bank of Ireland has instructed the Land Registry to do so

My partner and I are downsizing from our property in Dockland Settlement and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Dockland Settlement conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed an online conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Dockland Settlement. We have lived in Dockland Settlement for three years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation that there is no issue.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)

How does conveyancing in Dockland Settlement differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Dockland Settlement approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Dockland Settlement tend to buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Dockland Settlement or who has acted in the same development.
