My Solicitor in Rishton is not listed on the Coventry Building Society Conveyancing Panel. Is it possible for me to retain my prefered solicitor even though they are excluded from the Coventry Building Society panel?

The limited options available to you here include:

I require quick conveyancing in Rishton as I am faced with pressure to complete inside one month. Luckily I do not need a mortgage. Is it possible to avoid the conveyancing searches to save money and time?

If.Given you are not getting a home loan you are at free not to do searches although no conveyancer would advise that you don't. With lots of history conveyancing in Rishton the following are examples of what can show up and therefore affect future saleability: Enforcement Notices, Overdue Fees, Overdue Grants, Road Schemes,...

four months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Rishton took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 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 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.

I'm buying my first flat in Rishton with a loan from Aldermore. The sellers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent suggested that I not inform my solicitor about the side-deal as it may jeopardize my loan with Aldermore. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Should I be concerned by estate agents that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use a national conveyancing firm rather than a local Rishton conveyancing company?

As with many service providers, often input from connections can be very helpful. But there are lots of people with a keen interest in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, mortgage brokers and lenders may recommend lawyers to select. On occasion the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but sometimes there might be a commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You have the right to appoint your own lawyer. Don't forget that many banks have an approved list of conveyancers you must use for the mortgage aspect of your conveyancing.
