I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Aldermore. I assume I don't need a Barton Upon Humber conveyancer on the Aldermore panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

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

I have a mortgage with Virgin Money for my property in Barton Upon Humber. Conveyancing was finalised some time ago. Should I wish to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Virgin Money?

Virgin Money must be informed of your intention in advance of renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Virgin Money’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Virgin Money directly. You need not do this via a Virgin Money conveyancing panel solicitor.

I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in November 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, RBS are being difficult. The Barton Upon Humber solicitor who is on the RBS conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but RBS are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do RBS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that RBS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why RBS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

We're novice buyers - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent advised that the seller will only go ahead if we use their preferred lawyers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a local solicitor who is accustomed to conveyancing in Barton Upon Humber

We suspect that the seller is not behind this demand. Should the seller require ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to use your own,trusted Barton Upon Humber conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthose that will give the negotiator at the agency a commission or hit his conveyancing figures pre-set by head office.

My fiance is purchasing a studio flat in Barton Upon Humber. He has received a fee estimate by the property lawyer recommended by the estate agents totaling £1275 . It was fifteen years ago since I sold and bought a property and the bill was £495. Have fees really escalated to that extent?

What does the conveyancing estimate include? Is it just for the legal fees, or what you will be paying in total (for example Barton Upon Humber searches, land registry fees, etc)
