Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Stockton Heath is not identified on my bank's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of the firm’s conveyancing?

It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should simply call the Stockton Heath conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.

I am nearing an exchange on a flat in Stockton Heath and my parents have transferred the ten percent deposit to my conveyancer. I am now informed that as the deposit has not arrived from me my lawyer needs to disclose this to my lender. Apparently, in also acting for the lender he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I advised the bank regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?

The lawyer is legally required to clarify with lender to ensure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only reveal this to your mortgage company if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

It has been five months since my purchase conveyancing in Stockton Heath concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £170,000. 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.

Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
