My property lawyer in Leamouth has never been on on the Barnsley Building Society Conveyancing Panel. Is it possible for me to continue with my prefered solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the Barnsley Building Society panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?

- Carry on with your existing Leamouth solicitors but Barnsley Building Society will need to instruct a lawyer on their list of acceptable firms. This will result in additional overall legal charges and cause delays.
- Get a new practitioner to act in the purchase, obviously checking they are Barnsley Building Society approved.
- Try to convince your Barnsley Building Society solicitor to seek to join the Barnsley Building Society panel
five months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Leamouth took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 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 property 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.

My husband and I have just had an offer accepted on a property and had an appointment on Tuesday with the Post Office for the mortgage. They advised me that when it comes to appointing a lawyer that unless they are on their approved panel of lawyers then we will incur an additional fee of £250+. This is because they would then have to instruct a conveyancer to act on their behalf as well as the one we select on our behalf and we are liable for their invoice. I have asked the Post Office to furnish me with a list so I can seek quotes only from their approved solicitors but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. Is there a simple way of finding out who is on a lender panel?
You can enquire of the Post Office what their criteria for joining their panel is for a solicitor.Thereafter ask the property lawyer of your choice whether they meet the criteria and have they acted on loans for the Post Office previously. Where the answer to those is yes, then just double check with the Post Office. Alternatively please make use of our search facility and we may be able to identify a conveyancer in Leamouth on the approved list for the Post Office.
