I am obtaining a offer of a home loan from Lloyds. I intend to enlist the help of a Licensed Conveyancer in Brockenhurst. Does the Lloyds Solicitor panel exclude conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Lloyds approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, represented by the Council or Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
I sincerely hope you can help me. My Brockenhurst solicitor is advising me that she is duty bound toapply for Brockenhurst conveyancing searches due to the fact thatthe firm are on the Nat Westsolicitor panel. These Brockenhurst checks cost a lot of money can this be avoided?
You have limited options available to you. As you are obtaining a home loan with a mortgage company your lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the CML Handbook specifications . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Brockenhurst conveyancing searches.
It has been 3 months since my purchase conveyancing in Brockenhurst took place. I have checked the Land Registry website 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 have been recommended by numerous property agents in Brockenhurst to choose a conveyancer using your seach tool. Is there a financial upside for Estate Agents to recommend your site over alternative conveyancing organisations?
We refuse to give any referral fee for directing people to this site. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission as home movers will think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
I am thinking of appointing a conveyancing practitioner in Brockenhurst for my sale. Is it possible to check a firm’s record with the profession’s regulator?

I need to switch lawyers as my Brockenhurst lawyer is not on the lender's approved list of conveyancing solicitors. Is it practical to instruct different lawyers?
In the event that you have not formally instructed a solicitor to commence the conveyancing and have just received quotes, you're perfectly free to choose a different solicitor to carry out your work for you. The best way is to get recommendations from friends or family who have actually used the solicitor or conveyancer in Brockenhurst that you're thinking of instructing.
