I was due to complete on my flat two days ago. My solicitor is on the Newbury Building Society solicitors panel but has changed address 8 weeks ago and had not informed Newbury Building Society of their new address. Newbury Building Society has locked down the release of mortgage funds as the information from the solicitors isn't correct.
This is as unusual as it is unlucky. Most lender Terms of Conveyancing Panel Appointment specifically oblige the solicitor to inform the lender of an address change. Your solicitor needs to treat this with the utmost urgency. Do speak with or register your concern with the senior partner (assuming he or she is not your direct lawyer). Most lenders would be reasonable in this situation and expedite the resolution of this issue.

seeking recommendations is a good starting point. Before you go ahead check if they offer a no sale no fee offer.

I have a mortgage with Newbury Building Society. My godfather retired last week and wants to pay off my mortgage. After Newbury Building Society is paid, I want to transfer the property to my mother's name; How long will it roughly take? Do we need two separate solicitors on the Newbury Building Society conveyancing panel? I do not intend to live at the property once the Newbury Building Society mortgage is discharged.
Although you do need to retain the services of a lawyer they dont
need to be on the Newbury Building Society panel.
You will need a solicitor to draw up the transfer and
to deal with the Land Registry formalities. The only thing you need to
consider is that by selling at an undervalue so ask your lawyer about
the implications. There could be an inheritance tax issue if you die
within 7 years of this. There's no capital gains tax for you as it is
your main residence.
