I had intended to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Hackney Wick for our home move. Our financial adviser informed us that our mortgage company The Mortgage Works won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unduly restrictive?

Pre- 2008 most mortgage companies had a different appetite for risk. Almost all Hackney Wick conveyancing firms would have been on many lender panels. The FSA in 2010 conducted a thematic review into mortgage fraud which come to the conclusion: mortgage lenders should know the conveyancing solicitors dealt with. Consequently, mortgage companies are increasingly seeing more data from law firms about their operations and their employees and establishing certain criteria such a completing on a minimum amount of conveyancing. Many Hackney Wick conveyancing firms that have been excluded from lender panels have Unblemished track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Hackney Wick is amongst the hundreds of areas where the solicitors we recommend are are authorised to act for The Mortgage Works.

4 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Hackney Wick completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
