Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Beddau is not listed on my lender's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of his conveyancing?
That is more than likely a wrong assumption to make. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) lack of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. If you are concerned you should simply call the Beddau conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.
I am assisting my mother sell her property in Beddau. Does the conveyancing solicitor arrange an EPC or it is for the seller to coordinate?
Following the demise of Home Packs, energy performance certificates remained a mandatory element of moving property. An energy assessment must be to hand prior to the property being marketed. It is not something that lawyers ordinarily organise. If you are using a Beddau conveyancing practitioner they might be able to arrange energy performance certificates given their relationships with long established Beddau providers
We are getting the release of further monies on our mortgage from Yorkshire BS as we intend to conduct renovations to our property in Beddau. Do we need to appoint a bricks and mortar Beddau solicitor on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
Yorkshire BS would not normally appoint a member of their approved list of lawyers to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Yorkshire BS panel.
We expect to receive a AIP from Lloyds this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Lloyds recommend any Beddau solicitors on the Lloyds conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Beddau solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Lloyds through the process.
3 months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Beddau concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £160,000. 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.

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
I have recently had an offer accepted on a leasehold flat in Beddau and the mortgage adviser that we are using recommended his lawyer. He quoted £800 including VAT and disbursements. Does this sound like a good deal?
