Is it the case that all Badsey conveyancing solicitors on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel are regulated by the SRA?

As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Leeds Building Society approved list of solicitors they would need to be regulated by the SRA. Some mortgage companies do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the organisation would be overseen by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

We previously chose conveyancers locally in Badsey on the Barclays solicitor approved list. They have just billed me a supplemental sum for dealing with the Barclays mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Barclays?

As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancer can levy a fee for this. This charge is not set by Barclays but by your Badsey conveyancing practitioner. Some firms on the Barclays panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Kent Reliance. I assume I don't need a Badsey solicitor on the Kent Reliance panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

If you have finished paying off your Kent Reliance 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 Kent Reliance mortgage from the register. Kent Reliance, 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 Kent Reliance has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
3. Kent Reliance has instructed the Land Registry to do so
