We wanted to use a conveyancing solicitor in Walsall for our house move. Our broker informed us that our bank Leeds Building Society won't deal with them. Surely this is unduly restrictive?
Lenders normally imposes restrictions either the type or the volume of conveyancing practices on their approved list of lawyers. Typical examples of such criteria being that a firm must not be a sole practitioner. As well as restricting the type of firm, a few banks have limited the amount of solicitor practices they allow to represent them. Be aware that Leeds Building Society have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Leeds Building Society Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a primary driver in the reduction of solicitor panels a few years ago even though there are mixed opinions concerning the level of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry reveal that plenty of law firms, including some in or near Walsall only perform very few conveyances per annum.
It has been 2 months following my purchase conveyancing in Walsall took place. I have checked the Land Registry website 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 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.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Walsall I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Walsall in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
My husband and I accepted an offer on a Walsall bungalow we inherited ten years ago in 2011. I have over a decades worth of conveyancing knowledge and, although retired, intend to conduct my own conveyancing. The buyer's conveyancing practitioner has informed me that their bank will not allow you to do your own conveyancing insisting the funds to be sent to a solicitor's bank account.
