My IFA says he needs my Plymstock lawyer’ panel reference for the Nationwide conveyancing panel. What is the best way to discover this. I have tried my local Plymstock branch but they don't know it.

You are best placed to get this information from your Plymstock lawyer . Most Plymstock conveyancing practices will retain a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each bank.

I am aiming to move home in April. Should my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you put forward a removal company in Plymstock. Conveyancing firm was organised before I stumbled across your site.

On the day of completion you can pick up the keys from the estate agent however this should only be done when the previous owners conveyancers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be passed over. After that you will need to inform the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal company but can help you choose a residential property solicitor in Plymstock or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Plymstock.

We are getting the release of further funds on our mortgage from Clydesdale as we want to conduct a loft conversion to our property in Plymstock. Are we obliged to select a bricks and mortar Plymstock solicitor on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?

Clydesdale don't usually instruct firms on their approved list of lawyers to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Clydesdale panel.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Coventry BS. I assume I don't need a Plymstock lawyer on the Coventry BS panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

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