Me and my partner are buying property in Thorpe St Andrew. My property lawyer is not on the lender approved panel. Is it possible for me to retain my Thorpe St Andrew conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the lender panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
Various options include
- Carry on with your preferred Thorpe St Andrew conveyancer but your mortgage company will no doubt retain a conveyancing practitioner from their approved list. The net result is additional cost and likely delay.
- Appoint a fresh property lawyer to act in the purchase, obviously checking they are on the bank conveyancing panel.
- Convince your conveyancer to do everything within their powers to get listed on the bank’s panel of solicitors
I am purchasing a property without a mortgage in Thorpe St Andrew. I have been living for the previous Seventeen years in Thorpe St Andrew. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. Given that I know the road and vicinity intimately should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
If you not getting a home loan, then all but one or two of the Thorpe St Andrew conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your conveyancer will try and steer you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches completed, but she has a professional duty to do this. Do bear in mind; if you are going to sell the house at a future date, it could be of interest to your prospective purchaser what the searches reveal. On occasion houses with apparent issues can still reveal unfavourable search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Thorpe St Andrew should provide you some practical guidance here.
five months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Thorpe St Andrew took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £170,000. 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.
