I am hoping to receive a mortgage offer from Lloyds. My intention is to use a Licensed Conveyancer in Copmanthorpe. Does the Lloyds Conveyancing panel exclude conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Lloyds conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, associated to the Council or Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
We are downsizing from our house in Copmanthorpe and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. A high street Copmanthorpe conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using an internet conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Copmanthorpe. Having lived in Copmanthorpe for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)
It has been five months since my purchase conveyancing in Copmanthorpe took place. I have checked the Land Registry site 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 residence 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.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Copmanthorpe is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Copmanthorpe are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Copmanthorpe you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Copmanthorpe may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

We today become aware that one of the directors of the conveyancing practice handling the purchase conveyancing in Copmanthorpe is an uncle of the owners that we are purchasing from. Is this acceptable?
Provided no conflict arises this should be fine. If you are obtaining mortgage finance then the mortgage company may have a say as many mortgage companies have specific instructions concerning this. For example for Halifax Loans as of 18/4/2025, the requirements read as follows :
