I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Skipton. I assume I don't need a Sherston conveyancing practitioner on the Skipton panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Skipton 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 Skipton mortgage from the register. Skipton, 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 Skipton has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Skipton has instructed the Land Registry to do so
Planning on purchasing a flat in Sherston. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Sherston property lawyer is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel.

Am I best advised to use a Sherston conveyancing lawyer who is local to the property I am hoping to buy? We have a good friend who can execute the conveyancing but his firm is located 200miles away.
The primary upside of using a local Sherston conveyancing firm is that you can visit the firm to execute documents, present your ID and pester them where appropriate. They will also have local knowledge which is a benefit. However it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who instructed your friend and they were content that must outweigh using an unfamiliar Sherston conveyancing solicitor just because they are local.
