I have instructed a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Lower Morden. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Kent Reliance started?

It is usual to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is approx £1k, then survey, Lower Morden conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you must check that your solicitor is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel.

2 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Lower Morden completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
