I am buying residence in Woodhouse Eaves. My Solicitor has never been on on the mortgage company approved list. Is it possible for me to continue with my Woodhouse Eaves conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the bank list of approved lawyers?
Various options include
- Carry on with your chosen Woodhouse Eaves conveyancer but your mortgage company will need to retain a lawyer on their conveyancing panel. The net result is additional charges together with probable delay.
- Choose a new conveyancer to act in the purchase, making sure they are on the bank conveyancing panel.
- Convince your conveyancing practitioner to apply to join the lender panel
Do I choose a Licenced Conveyancer or Solicitor for conveyancing in Woodhouse Eaves?
Two types of professional can carry out conveyancing in Woodhouse Eaves namely licenced conveyancers or solicitors.

This question may be naive but I am wet behind the ears as FTB of a ground floor flat in Woodhouse Eaves. Do I pick up the keys to the house on the completion date from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Woodhouse Eaves?
On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Woodhouse Eaves. Your solicitors will transfer the purchase money to the owner’s solicitors, and once they have received this, you will be invited to receive the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen early afternoon.
My offer was accepted on a house in Woodhouse Eaves on 22/9/2025, valuation was booked 3 days later, received a clean bill of health. Solicitor instructed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Kent Reliance and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Kent Reliance to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I am selling our property in Woodhouse Eaves and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed a web based conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Woodhouse Eaves. We have lived in Woodhouse Eaves for six years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? You should check with 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 4 months since my purchase conveyancing in Woodhouse Eaves concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £215,000. 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 am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Woodhouse Eaves I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Woodhouse Eaves for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage that many years will likely be an issue. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
