My wife and I are buying a 2 bedroom apartment in Dartmouth with a mortgage. We would like to retain our Dartmouth conveyancer, however the mortgage company advise she’s not on their "panel". It appears that we have no choice but to appoint one of the bank panel firms or keep our Dartmouth lawyer and pay for one of their panel firms to represent them. We feel that this is unjust; are we not able to insist that the lender use our Dartmouth solicitor ?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your Dartmouth conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

It has been 4 months following my purchase conveyancing in Dartmouth concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £215,000. 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.
Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Dartmouth in advance of instructing lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the house. My surveyor advised that some banks tend not grant a loan on such a premises.
