My friend's uncle is a conveyancer. I suspect that I'll be able to get preferential fee for conveyancing, but if not, what kind of figure would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in Leigh?

Our Leigh lawyer has spotted a difference when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the home valuation survey and what is revealed within the legal papers for the property. My solicitor says that he is obliged to ensure that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my conveyancer’s course or action appropriate?
Your conveyancer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.
My home in Leigh is up for sale and I have a buyer. Does the conveyancer have to be on the Lloyds conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Lloyds 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 requirements fairly frequently in recent years.
Do I find a Licenced Conveyancer or Solicitor for conveyancing in Leigh?

Can you help - my lawyer advises that flying freehold insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Leigh?

How can we tell if a Leigh conveyancing solicitor on the Bank of Ireland panel is any good?

five months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Leigh completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 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 premises 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.
We are midway through purchasing a residence in Leigh. Conveyancing lawyer has told us the title is "Leasehold". Will this likely make a difference on our Santander valuation?
Leigh conveyancing does not normally involve leasehold houses. The crucial consideration here is the length of lease and the ground rent. If it's 999 years with a peppercorn rent, it's almost the same as freehold, so it shouldn't impact the saleability too much.
At the other extreme, if it's, say, 50 years it is bound to have a adverse effect on the value, and most likely wouldn't be mortgageable. The remaining lease term and ground rent will be specified in the lease provided to your conveyancing practitioner.
