You should start requesting conveyancing estimates from solicitors ASAP. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the EA.

After much negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Yatton. My financial adviser suggested a conveyancer. I paid an upfront payment of £175. Not long after, the solicitor contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Santander conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Santander panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers dealing with homes in Yatton. Plenty of people will purchase a property in Yatton, completely aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or sell the property.

The standard property information forms sent to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) incorporates a usual inquiry of the seller to determine whether the property has historically flooded. In the event that the premises has been flooded in past and is not disclosed by the seller, then a buyer could commence a compensation claim stemming from an misleading reply. A purchaser’s lawyers may also order an enviro search. This will indicate if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries should be carried out.
It has been 3 months since my purchase conveyancing in Yatton 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 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.
