I have been recommended a conveyancing solicitor in Deanshanger. I need to find out whether they are accepted on the Nationwide Building Society approved list of lawyers. Could you or the lender confirm if they are on the panel?
You should contact the solicitor and ask them if they can act for the bank. Alternatively you should call Nationwide Building Society who may be able to confirm.

five months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Deanshanger 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.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Deanshanger I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Deanshanger in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
Is it best to go with a Deanshanger conveyancing lawyer who is local to the property I am purchasing? An old friend can carry out the legal work however his firm is located approximately 350miles drive away.
The primary upside of using a local Deanshanger conveyancing firm is that you can attend the office to sign paperwork, hand in your ID and apply pressure on them where appropriate. They will also have local knowledge which is a bonus. That being said it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If other friends have used your friend and the majority were content that must outweigh using an unfamiliar Deanshanger conveyancing solicitor just because they are Deanshanger based.
I am intending to rent out my leasehold flat in Deanshanger. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Do I need to ask my freeholder for their consent?
Even though your previous Deanshanger conveyancing solicitor is no longer around you can review your lease to check if you are permitted to let out the property. The accepted inference is that if the deeds are non-specific, subletting is permitted. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you need to obtain permission via your landlord or some other party prior to subletting. This means that you cannot sublet in the absence of prior consent. Such consent must not not be unreasonably withheld. If your lease prohibits you from letting out the property you will need to ask your landlord for their consent.
