If you had a top tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Waterbeach what would it be?
Do not opt for the cheapest Waterbeach conveyancing quote. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors.

I have paid off my mortgage with RBS. I assume I don't need a Waterbeach solicitor 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
