Is it the case that all Midhurst CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel?
A selection of lenders now make use of the accreditation scheme as the kick off point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander.

Nevertheless,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to remain on their panels.

four months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Midhurst completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £160,000. 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 residence 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.
