I have just been advised by my financial adviser that my Skellingthorpe the law firm I have appointed is not on the bank Conveyancing panel. How can I be sure if this is correct?

My partner and I are downsizing from our home in Skellingthorpe and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. Any high street Skellingthorpe lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers are using a national conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Skellingthorpe. Having lived in Skellingthorpe for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)

four months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Skellingthorpe took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 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 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.
