My financial adviser has asked me for my Melton Mowbray law firm’s panel reference for the Nat West conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I obtain this. I have e-mailed my local Melton Mowbray branch but they don't know it.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Melton Mowbray property lawyer . Most Melton Mowbray law practices will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each lender.
Will conveyancers request money on account for conveyancing in Melton Mowbray?
If you are buying a property in Melton Mowbray your lawyer will request that you put them with monies to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches. This will be the total of the cost of the Local Authority Search. If any down payment is as part of the sale price then this should be needed shortly ahead of contracts are exchanged. The closing balance that is due will be payable shortly before completion.

On the day of completion you can pick up the house keys from your selling agent but this should only happen once the sellers solicitors advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be passed over. You can tell the removal men that they can start moving you in. We do not suggest a particular removal organisation but can help you choose a conveyancing in Melton Mowbray or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Melton Mowbray.
I have paid off my mortgage with Leeds Building Society. I assume I don't need a Melton Mowbray lawyer on the Leeds Building Society panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Leeds Building Society 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 Leeds Building Society mortgage from the register. Leeds Building Society, 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 Leeds Building Society has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Leeds Building Society has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I recently had an offer accepted on an apartment in Melton Mowbray. My financial adviser suggested a property lawyer. I paid an advanced payment of £225. Shortly after, the conveyancer contacted me to say that they were not on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Aldermore panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
Have purchased a a terraced house in Melton Mowbray , how long will it take for the Land Registry to record my ownership? My Melton Mowbray conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be sure that my purchase is recorded.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Melton Mowbray registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd persons or bodies. Currently in the region of 80% of such applications are completed within two weeks but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Registration occurs once the buyer has moved in to the property thus 'speed' is not usually primary concern yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
