Are all Thornbury Conveyancing Quality Solicitors on the Co-operative conveyancing panel?
A selection of banks and building societies now use the accreditation scheme as the kick off point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander.

My husband and I have arranged a further advance on our mortgage from Aldermore as we want to carry out renovations to our property in Thornbury. Do we need to appoint a local Thornbury solicitor on the Aldermore conveyancing panel to handle the legals?
Aldermore would not normally appoint firms on their approved list of lawyers to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Aldermore panel.
Our sealed bid on a house in Thornbury has been accepted, the owners do however have an associated purchase. The owners have offered on a flat, but it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other apartments in the pipeline. I have selected a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Thornbury. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Yorkshire BS going?
It is normal to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Thornbury conveyancing search charges, etc). The first thing to do is check that your property lawyer is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Regarding the next phase this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. In a hot market some buyers would apply for the mortgage with Yorkshire BS and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their solicitor to proceed with searches.
My partner and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Thornbury and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. Any local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using a nationwide conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Thornbury. We have lived in Thornbury for 4 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to enquire of 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 life insurance to cover that same ailment)
It has been three months since my purchase conveyancing in Thornbury took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 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 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.
Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Thornbury ahead of appointing lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. The surveyor has said that some mortgage companies may not give a loan on a flying freehold house.

Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
