I am acquiring a leasehold flat in Pocklington. My Conveyancer is not listed on the mortgage company solicitor list. Am I still permitted to appoint my Pocklington conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the mortgage company approved list?
One will need to have a conveyancer to complete the formalities if you require a mortgage to buy your home. They will conduct all the relevant due diligence on the property, make sure that you’re properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the required mortgage paperwork is dealt with. You may select a Pocklington property lawyer of your choosing. However, where the solicitor appointed is not on the bank approved list further costs will be incurred as separate legal representation will be need by the lender. Bank panel applications can be submitted, so if your conveyancer has not previously sought membership they can do so.
three months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Pocklington completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. 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 premises 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.
