I am hoping to receive a mortgage with Lloyds. My intention is to instruct a Licensed Conveyancer in Westbury On Trym. Does the Lloyds Conveyancing panel allow for Licensed Conveyancers?
The Lloyds approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, represented by the CML or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The lender mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to use their panel solicitor as I would much rather instruct a Westbury On Trym based conveyancing firm?
Do check but the the probability is that appoint one of their panel lawyers should you take up the "fee-free" deal. Contact the lender to ask if they make available a cash alternative. In the past a few lenders offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case you could put that amount towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor in Westbury On Trym.
five months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Westbury On Trym took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 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 property 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.

I was pointed in your direction by a couple of local estate agents in Westbury On Trym to choose a solicitor on your site. What’s the financial upside for Estate Agents to offer your services over alternative conveyancing organisations?
We refuse to offer any referral fee for pointing buyers and sellers to this site. We thought it would be too underhand a fee as members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
