We decided to go with a high street lawyer for our conveyancing in Wennington recently. Upon checking the official terms of business I seewe are responsible for fees even if our purchase doesn't happen. Should I ditch them and appoint a web based lawyer promising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Wennington?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will generally be uplifted to counteract the transactions that do not go ahead. You should be mindful that such arrangements rarely protect you from expenses by way of example Wennington conveyancing search fees.
we are a couple who are purchasing a newbuild flat in Wennington with a homeloan from Bank of Ireland.We have a Wennington conveyancing lawyer but Bank of Ireland advised that his firm is not on their "panel". We have to appoint a Bank of Ireland panel firm or keep our preferred solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Bank of Ireland use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that lawyers needs to be on the Bank of Ireland approved list. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Bank of Ireland
is it true that all Wennington solicitor practices on the Lloyds conveyancing panel are regulated by the SRA?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Lloyds conveyancing panel they would need to be overseen by the SRA. Many lenders do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the organisation would be governed by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

It would be prudent to commence your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the estate agent. As you are obtaining a mortgage with Skipton, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Skipton conveyancing panel.
2 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Wennington took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 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 residence 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.
