Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Ringwood is not on my mortgage company's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of his work?
It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator revealed that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should contact the Ringwood conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.

In many cases this discovery resulted in the legal process being delayed by an average of three weeks. It is believed that this issue affects approximately one hundred thousand home moves annually. Many Ringwood conveyancing practices can not represent certain mortgage companies so do check as early as possible.

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.
