My husband and I wish to acquire a 3 bedroom apartment in Whitley Bay with a residential mortgage from Platform Home Loans Ltd.We have a Whitley Bay conveyancing practitioner but Platform Home Loans Ltd informed us he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint a Platform Home Loans Ltd panel lawyer or retain our preferred solicitor and pay for a Platform Home Loans Ltd panel lawyer to act for them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The loan offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that solicitors must be on the Platform Home Loans Ltd conveyancing panel. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Platform Home Loans Ltd

four months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Whitley Bay took place. 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 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.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Whitley Bay I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Whitley Bay suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
