Do banks and building societies provide you with an approved list of Borough Green conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel?
Borough Green conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Co-operative conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Co-operative directly.
Do the Building Society Association intend to launch a search tool with a view to to identify firms on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel for example in Borough Green?
We are not aware of any plans on the part of the BSA to promote such a register.
A friend advised me that where I am purchasing in Borough Green I should ask my conveyancer to carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?

It has been 4 months following my purchase conveyancing in Borough Green completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £170,000. 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.
How does conveyancing in Borough Green differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Borough Green contact us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Borough Green typically acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Borough Green or who has acted in the same development.
