My financial adviser requires my Lake law firm’s panel member for the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I discover this. I have e-mailed my local Lake branch but they have not got back to me yet.
Have you tried calling your Lake lawyer about this?. They maintain a central record lender panel numbers.
I have an AIP. The lender mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to appoint their panel conveyancer as I would prefer to instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Lake?
You should check but the chances are that allocate you one of their panel solicitors if you take up the "fee-free" incentive. Contact the mortgage company to check if they allow a cash alternative. In the past a few mortgage companies offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case you could put that amount towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor near Lake.
It has been 2 months since my purchase conveyancing in Lake completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £215,000. 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 asset 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.
How does conveyancing in Lake differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Lake come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because builders in Lake tend to purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Lake or who has acted in the same development.
