Why would one appoint a Bury conveyancing solicitors firm when internet based alternatives are less overpriced?

My fiance and I are purchasing a newly converted apartment in Bury with a residential mortgage from Barclays Direct.We like our Bury conveyancing practitioner but Barclays Direct advised that she’s not on their "panel". It seems we are left with no choice but to instruct a Barclays Direct panel lawyer or keep our high street solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The loan offered to you contains various provisions, a common one being that conveyancers needs to be on the Barclays Direct solicitor panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Barclays Direct
2 months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Bury completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £160,000. 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.

In my capacity as executor for the will of my grandfather I am disposing of a property in Neath but live in Bury. My conveyancer (who is 250 kilometers awayhas requested that I sign a stat dec before completion. Could you suggest a conveyancing lawyer in Bury who can witness this legal document for me?
strictly speaking you are unlikely to need to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally any notary public or solicitor will be fine regardless of whether they are Bury based
