I had intended to instruct a property lawyer in Selhurst for our house purchase. Our financial adviser informed us that our mortgage company National Westminster Bank won't deal with them. Surely this is unduly restrictive?
Banks tend to restrict either the type or the volume of conveyancing practices on their panel. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a law practice must have two or more partners. As well as restricting the type of firm, a few banks have limited the amount of solicitor practices they permit to act for them. You should note that National Westminster Bank have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of National Westminster Bank Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the reduction of solicitor panels a few years ago even though there are mixed views concerning the level of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Data from the Land Registry reveal that hundreds of law firms, including some in or near Selhurst only perform a couple conveyances a year.
four months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Selhurst concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 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 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.
