What is the first thing I need to know about purchase conveyancing in Southville?

Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Southville and elsewhere in Bristol is an adversarial process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of room for friction between you and others involved in the legal transfer of property. E.g., the seller, selling agent and on occasion a lender. Choosing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Southville is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the legal process whose interest is to act in your legal interests and to protect you.

Every so often a third party with a vested interest will attempt to convince you that you should follow their advice. For instance, the selling agent may claim to be assisting by suggesting your solicitor is wrong. Or your financial adviser may tell you to do something that is contrary to your solicitors advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

When it comes to lenders such as Principality, do Southville property lawyers face an annual charge to be on the list of approved solicitors?

We are unaware of any bank fees to be on their list of approved firms, although some do charge an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.

The formalities of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Southville. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How do I make a complaint?

All lenders have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Department at head office. We understand that complaints to a lender are sorted out effectively and efficiently. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR who will take matters further.

My offer was accepted on a property in Southville on 27/3/2024, valuation was booked 2 days later, received a clean bill of health. Solicitor instructed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Lloyds and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Lloyds 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 Lloyds to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

four months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Southville completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £180,000. 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 asset 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.
