I plan on acquiring a leasehold flat in Lee. My Solicitor has never been on on the lender conveyancing list. Is it possible for me to appoint my Lee conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the mortgage company list of approved lawyers?
You will need to appoint a property lawyer to deal with the legal work required when you require a loan to purchase your property. They will carry out all the essential legal checks on the property, ensuring that you’re registered as proprietor and ensure that all the necessary mortgage documentation is in place. One can instruct a Lee solicitor of your choosing. Nevertheless, where the lawyer appointed is not on the bank solicitor panel supplemental costs will be incurred as separate legal representation will be required by them. Lender panel applications can be submitted, so where your lawyer has not in the past applied for membership they should take the opportunity to apply.

There is lots of information on this site about conveyancing in Lee but what is your top tip for choosing the right conveyancer in Lee
We would encourage you not to base your choice on the cheapest Lee conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
We previously instructed solicitors located in Lee on the Bank of Ireland solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a separate fee for the legal aspects of the Bank of Ireland mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Bank of Ireland?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your lawyer is entitled to levy a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by Bank of Ireland but by your Lee conveyancer. Some firms on the Bank of Ireland panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in November 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Aldermore are being pedantic. The Lee solicitor who is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Aldermore are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Aldermore have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Aldermore have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Aldermore may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
five months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Lee concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site 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 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.
