We are buying a 3 bedroom apartment in Rothley with a mortgage. We would like to retain our Rothley solicitor, however the bank says he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the lender panel conveyancing practices or keep our Rothley solicitor as well as pay for one of their panel firms to act for them. This feels very unfair; are we not able to demand that the lender use our Rothley conveyancing practitioner ?
No, not really. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your Rothley conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

After much negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Rothley. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an advanced payment of £225. A couple of days later, the solicitor called me to say that they were not on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

It has been 3 months following my purchase conveyancing in Rothley completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?

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.
