We wanted to use a property lawyer in Cottenham for our house move. Our broker has since advised us that our mortgage company The Mortgage Works won't deal with them. Surely this is unfair competition?

Is it necessary to pay for insurance to protect me from financial exposure to chancel repairs when purchasing a property in Cottenham?
Unless a previous purchase of the premises took place after 12 October 2013 you may expect lawyers delivering conveyancing in Cottenham to continue to suggest a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.
It has been four months since my purchase conveyancing in Cottenham completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 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 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.

New build sellers have put forward a property lawyer and I've sought an estimate from them. They are nearly two hundred pounds cheaper than my local Cottenham conveyancer. What's the catch?
Housebuilders often have panels of property lawyers who expedite matters and who know the seller’s contract and conveyancing practitioner. Plenty of developers offer an inducement to select a preferred conveyancer for this reason, any increased charges can be avoided and a developer won't put forward a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the conveyancing delayed when they demand an exchange inside a month. A counter-argument for not agreeing to use the recommended conveyancer is that they may prove hesitant to fight for your interests at the risk of upsetting the sellers. If you worry that this may be the situation you should remain with your local Cottenham conveyancing practitioner.
