My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Tintern. I need to find out whether they are on the Lloyds TSB Bank conveyancing panel. Could you or the lender confirm if they are on the panel?
You should call the conveyancer and enquire whether they are on the lender panel. Otherwise you should get in touch with Lloyds TSB Bank who may be able to assist.
It has been 3 months since my purchase conveyancing in Tintern completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 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.

Looking forward to sign contracts shortly on a garden flat in Tintern. Conveyancing solicitors inform me that they will have a report out to me within the next couple of days. Are there areas in the report that I should be focusing on?

Best to be warned whether fixing the lift or some other significant cost is due shortly that will be shared between the leasehold owners and will materially increase the the service charges or require a one time payment. Is there a share of the freehold? Are any of leasehold owners in arrears of their service charge liability?
Two months into a sale of a flat in Tintern. Conveyancing is fine but we have been asked to pay an extortionate amount from the freeholder. To date we have issued a cheque for £250 for a leasehold management pack and then another £200 plus VAT for additional queries supplied by the buyers conveyancing practitioner.
You will not have any say over the level of the bill for this information but the average fee for the information for Tintern leasehold premises is £350. When it comes to Tintern conveyancing deals it is customary for the vendor to cover the charges. The freeholder or their agents are under no legal obligation to address these questions although many will be willing to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices disproportionate to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no law that requires fixed fees for administrative tasks. Neither is there any set time limit by which they are obliged to provide the information.
