The sole saving you would make on is the disbursement for searches.

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.

The sensible thing to do is clear the invoice as you normally would given that all rents and maintenance payments should be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.

My husband and I are acquiring a ground floor flat in Tedburn St Mary. At the point of instructing our property lawyer, they told us that they were on all major UK lender panels. The financial adviser called just now to say that they are not on the Coventry BS approved list. If it turns out to be true, what should we do? Do we just find a new property lawyer that is on their approved list or should we pay for separate representation, with Coventry BS appointing their own approved lawyer.
If you are purchasing a property with the assistance of a mortgage it is standard for the purchaser’s lawyers to also represent the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a property lawyer has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the lawyer to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the conveyancer has to satisfy. Some mortgage companies now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your property lawyer should call Coventry BS to find out if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on Coventry BS's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Tedburn St Mary lawyers, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it may delay matters as you are adding another solicitor into the mix.
