It has been four months since my purchase conveyancing in Barnetby le Wold concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?

It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises 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.

My wife and I are buying a ground floor flat in Barnetby le Wold. When we first instructed solicitor, they told us that they were on all mainstream bank panels. The mortgage broker emailed just now to say that they don't appear to be on the TSB approved list. Were it to be true, what should we do? Should we simply choose a new property lawyer that is on their approved list or do we pay for dual representation, with TSB appointing their own approved property lawyer.
When acquiring a property with mortgage finance it is normal for the buyer’s solicitors to also represent the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a solicitor has to be on that lender's list of approved lawyers. An application has to be made by the property lawyer to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict conditions which the property lawyer has to meet. Some lenders now insist their panel firms to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your conveyancer should contact TSB to find out if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on TSB's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Barnetby le Wold solicitors, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it will likely delay the transaction as you are adding another conveyancing practitioner into the mix.
