Is it the case that all Port Clarence CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel?
A selection of banks and building societies now make use of the accreditation scheme as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander.

Nevertheless,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to remain on their approved list of firms.

It has been 2 months since my purchase conveyancing in Port Clarence took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £215,000. 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.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Port Clarence I like with a park and station in the vicinity, however it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Port Clarence for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

We're novice buyers - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent advised that the seller will only go ahead if we instruct their preferred solicitors as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a high street solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Port Clarence
It is unlikely the vendors are behind this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Contact the vendors directly and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to use your preferred Port Clarence conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthose that will give their estate agent a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by HQ.
