I plan on purchasing a leasehold flat in Stanford Le Hope. My lawyer is not listed on the mortgage company solicitor list. Am I still permitted to appoint my Stanford Le Hope conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the lender panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
You have numerous alternatives available to you here
- Complete the purchase with your preferred Stanford Le Hope lawyer but your lender will undoubtedly use a conveyancing practitioner from their conveyancing panel. The net result is additional cost together with probable delay.
- Appoint a new solicitor to conduct the conveyancing, making sure they are on the bank conveyancing panel.
- Appeal to your conveyancing practitioner to apply to join the lender panel
My nephew is buying a newly built flat in Stanford Le Hope with a mortgage from UBS. His lawyer has advised him of a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. What is this document - I have never come across this before?
The form is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the UBS conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the surveyor when requested. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the UBS conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
My home in Stanford Le Hope is up for sale and I have accepted an offer. Does my lawyer have to be on the Nottingham conveyancing panel in order to deal with the discharge of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Nottingham conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their panel criteria fairly frequently currently.

4 months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Stanford Le Hope took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £160,000. 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.
