I am considering refinancing my property in Pagham, does my lawyer need to be on the Lloyds Solicitor panel?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Lloyds conveyancing panel, but Lloyds would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Pagham off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with TSB. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with TSB, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the TSB conveyancing panel.
Various online forums that I have frequented warn that are the main cause of hinderance in Pagham conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?

It has been three months since my purchase conveyancing in Pagham took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 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 asset 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.
What makes a Pagham lease unacceptable for security purposes?
There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Pagham. Most leases are individual and drafting errors can sometimes mean that certain clauses are erroneous. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:
-
Maintenance charge proportions which don’t add up to the correct percentage A provision to repair to or maintain elements of the property
You may have a problem when selling your property if you have a defective lease primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Halifax, Barnsley Building Society, and Godiva Mortgages Ltd all have very detailed conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is problematic they may refuse to provide security, forcing the purchaser to pull out.

We have instructed a Pagham conveyancing solicitor for our house purchase (first time buyers) and have picked up in the terms and conditions that they are not governed by the FCA. Am I right to be concerned or is that standard with conveyancing practitioner?
We can't see why they should be. Most solicitor don't lend money. They will be governed by the SRA, who dictate specific laws in place on amounts deposited on client account.
