My husband and I are buying a 3 bedroom apartment in Miles Platting with a mortgage. We wish to retain our Miles Platting solicitor, but the mortgage company advise she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the bank panel conveyancing practices or continue with our Miles Platting conveyancer as well as pay for one of their panel lawyers to represent them. We regard this is inequitable; can we not demand that the mortgage company use our Miles Platting solicitor ?
Unfortunately,no. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender’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. A further alternative is for your Miles Platting conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

It has been three months since my purchase conveyancing in Miles Platting concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 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 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.
How does conveyancing in Miles Platting differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Miles Platting come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because builders in Miles Platting usually acquire the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Miles Platting or who has acted in the same development.
