We see that you have a post code search directory listing solicitors on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Do companies pay you a referral fee if I instruct them for our conveyancing in Holt?
We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the Barclays conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Holt.
My house in Holt is up for sale and I have accepted an offer. Does my conveyancing practitioner need to be on the TSB conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the TSB conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their conditions fairly frequently currently.
It has been 4 months since my purchase conveyancing in Holt took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. 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.
What does commercial conveyancing in Holt cover?

Am I best advised to choose a Holt conveyancing lawyer who is local to the property I am purchasing? I have an old university friend who can carry out the legal work but his firm is located approximately 350miles away.
The benefit of a high street Holt conveyancing practice is that you can visit the firm to execute paperwork, hand in your ID and pester them where appropriate. Having local Holt know how is a bonus. However it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If other friends have used your friend and on the whole were content that should surpass using an unknown Holt conveyancing lawyer just because they are local.
My wife and I have selected a Holt conveyancing solicitor for our home move (novice purchasers) and have noticed in the Ts and Cs that they are not covered by the Financial Conduct Authority. Should I be concerned or is that standard with property lawyer?
We can't see why they should be. Most conveyancing practitioner don't lend money. They will be governed by the SRA, who set specific laws covering monies deposited on client account.
