Me and my fiance are hoping to purchase a 1 bedroom apartment in Bassaleg with a mortgage. We have a Bassaleg solicitor, however the lender advise he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the lender panel solicitors or retain our Bassaleg conveyancing practitioner and pay for one of their panel firms to act for them. This feels very unfair; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose 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 Bassaleg conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

It has been 2 months following my purchase conveyancing in Bassaleg concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. 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 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.
