My husband and I are purchasing a flat in Corby. My property lawyer is not listed on the mortgage company solicitor list. Is it possible for me to retain my Corby conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the bank list of approved lawyers?
You have a couple of options open to you here
- Proceed with your chosen Corby conveyancer but your mortgage company will undoubtedly retain a solicitor from their approved panel. The net result is additional fees together with likely delay.
- Appoint a new solicitor to act in the purchase, ensuring that they are on the mortgage company conveyancing panel.
- Convince your solicitor to pull out all the stops to join the mortgage company panel of solicitors

2 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Corby concluded. 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 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.
How does conveyancing in Corby differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Corby contact us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because developers in Corby usually buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Corby or who has acted in the same development.
