My IFA has requested my Litherland solicitor’s panel reference for the Nat West conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I discover this. I have e-mailed my local Litherland office but they cant find it on their system.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Litherland lawyer . They retain a central record lender panel numbers.

This question may be naive but I am new to the home moving as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Litherland. Do I pick up the keys to the property on completion from my solicitor? If so, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Litherland?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the purchase money to the owner’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be able to pick up the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.
I recently had an offer accepted on an apartment in Litherland. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their conveyancer. I paid an upfront payment of £200. Not long after, the conveyancer called me to say that they were not on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Skipton panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in May 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Co-operative are being a right pain. The Litherland solicitor who is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Co-operative are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Co-operative have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Co-operative have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Co-operative 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.
It has been 4 months since my purchase conveyancing in Litherland concluded. 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 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.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one round the corner in Litherland I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Litherland in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
