About to purchase house in Anstey. 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 RBS 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 Anstey lawyer is on the RBS conveyancing panel.

Our sealed bid on a house in Anstey has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The owners have offered on a property, but it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other flats booked. I have selected a local conveyancing solicitor in Anstey. What should be my next step? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with RBS?

It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then survey, Anstey conveyancing search charges, etc). The first course of action is to check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the RBS conveyancing panel. As to the next stages this very much dictated by the circumstances of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. In a hot market the majority of purchasers will apply for a home loan with RBS and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their lawyer to press on with searches.

3 months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Anstey completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 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.

Ask other tenants what they think of their service. In conclusion, find out the dates that the service fees are due to the appropriate party and precisely what it includes.
