The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Borough Green. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?
All lenders have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Department at head office.

However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service who will take matters further.
I have finally had an offer on an apartment in Borough Green agreed to, but there is a chain. The vendors have put an offer on somewhere, however it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other apartments in the pipeline. I have selected a local conveyancing solicitor in Borough Green. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with Nationwide going?
It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Borough Green conveyancing search fees, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Nationwide approved list. Regarding the subsequent stages this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your case, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. In a hot market the majority of home buyers would apply for a home loan with Nationwide and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their lawyer to press on with searches.
3 months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Borough Green took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 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 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.
