Is the fact that my conveyancer in Blaenau Ffestiniog is not on my lender's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of her conveyancing?
That would more than likely be a wrong assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator revealed that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should contact the Blaenau Ffestiniog conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.

four months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Blaenau Ffestiniog 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 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.

You can appoint a property lawyer now so that the property lawyer can open the ledger so they can commence the AML checks etc. If and when you wish them to commence work they will seek a payment on account normally about £200. That would generally be after you have the loan offer from the bank and valuation results, however should you wish to speed matters you can start the ball rolling quicker even though you may be risking some expense.
