I was informed today by my estate agent that my Prestatyn solicitor is not on the lender Conveyancing panel. What can I do to be sure that this is correct?
The first thing you need to do is to contact your Prestatyn lawyer directly. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to advise you what has happened. Where they are not on the panel they may recommend you to a Prestatyn conveyancing firm that is on the approved list of lawyers for your bank.
We note that you have a search directory identifying firms on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Do firms pay you a commission if I retain them for our conveyancing in Prestatyn?

We are purchasing a victorian detached house in Prestatyn. The intention is to convert the garage to an office at the house.Will the conveyancing process include checks to ascertain if these works are prohibited?
Your property lawyer should review the deeds as conveyancing in Prestatyn will occasionally identify restrictions in the title documents which prohibit certain changes or require the consent of a 3rd party. Some extensions need local authority planning consent and approval under the building regulations. Many locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or affect extensions. It would be wise to check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Co-operative. I assume I don't need a Prestatyn property lawyer on the Co-operative panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Co-operative 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 Co-operative mortgage from the register. Co-operative, 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 Co-operative has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Co-operative has instructed the Land Registry to do so
Completion of my purchase has taken place for my property in Prestatyn. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I would like to complain about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?
All banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Team at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service with full details of your complaint.
