One must instruct a lawyer to deal with the formalities when you require a mortgage to buy your property. They will conduct all the necessary legal checks on the property, ensuring that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the necessary mortgage paperwork is in order. You may instruct a Deanshanger conveyancer of your choosing. Nevertheless, if the conveyancer appointed is not a member of the mortgage company conveyancing panel supplemental costs will be incurred as separate legal representation will be need by the lender. Lender panel applications may be submitted, so where your conveyancer has not previously applied for membership they should take the opportunity to apply.

3 months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Deanshanger concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?

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.

You are at liberty to appoint your own conveyancer. However, bear in mind that some mortgage providers specify a panel list of law firms you must use for the lender aspect of your home move.
