I am buying a ground floor flat in Old Oak Common. My Solicitor has never been on on the lender approved list. Is it possible for me to retain my Old Oak Common conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the bank panel?
Your options include
- Complete the purchase with your preferred Old Oak Common conveyancing practitioner but your lender will no doubt use a solicitor on their conveyancing panel. The net result is additional cost together with potential frustration.
- Appoint a fresh conveyancer to act in the purchase, making sure they are on the lender conveyancing panel.
- Convince your conveyancing practitioner to pull out all the stops to join the lender’s conveyancing panel

I have been told that property searches are the number one cause of obstruction in Old Oak Common conveyancing transactions. Is that correct?

Local searches are not likely to feature in any slowing down conveyancing in Old Oak Common.
It has been five months since my purchase conveyancing in Old Oak Common concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website 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.
