Me and my partner are planning to purchase a 1 bedroom apartment in Maltby with a mortgage. We have a Maltby solicitor, but the bank says she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the bank panel solicitors or retain our Maltby conveyancer as well as pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your Maltby conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
The Maltby conveyancing firm handling our Maltby conveyancing has uncovered a difference when comparing the assumptions in the home valuation survey and what is in the legal papers for the property. My solicitor has advised that he must ensure that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s stance appropriate?
Your lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions 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.

I completed on my house on 10 October and the transaction details is yet to be on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Maltby said it will be recorded in less than a month. Are properties in Maltby particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Maltby is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd parties. At present roughly three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Registration is effected after the new owner has moved in to the premises thus 'speed' is not usually an essential issue yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers must speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
