We are buying a 2 bedroom flat in Normanton with a mortgage. We wish to retain our Normanton conveyancer, but the bank advise he's not on their "panel". It appears that we have little option but to appoint one of the mortgage company panel firms or retain our Normanton conveyancer as well as pay for one of their panel firms to represent them. We consider that this is unjust; can we not insist that the mortgage company use our Normanton conveyancer ?
No, not really. The mortgage offered to you 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 Normanton conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

I am the sole recipient of my late grandmother’s will and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Normanton. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in April. I want to move. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship may be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the house in April. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be caught by that. Most banks would take a pragmatic view as this clause is principally there to capture subsales or the quick reselling of property.
Can I be sure that the Normanton conveyancing solicitor on the HSBC panel is any good?

Planning on purchasing a house in Normanton. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the UBS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Normanton conveyancing practitioner is on the UBS conveyancing panel.
five months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Normanton took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 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.
