I can't travel far from Edenthorpe. Is there a reason why all Edenthorpe lawyers are not on all lender panels?
Banks ordinarily restrict either the nature or the number of conveyancing firms on their panel. Frequent examples of such restriction(s) being that the organisation must have at least two partners. In addition to restricting the structure of firm, some building societies made a decision to reduce the number of conveyancers they use to act for them. You should note that mortgage companies have no responsibility for the quality of service given by any Edenthorpe conveyancing practitioner on their approved list. Property fraud was a key driver in the reduction of conveyancing panels from 2008 even though there are opposing assessments about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Data published by HMLR exposes that thousands of conveyancing organisations only carry out one or two conveyances annually. Those supporting conveyancing panel cuts question why law firms should have claim to be on a conveyancing panel when clearly property law is not their speciality?
I am considering applying for a Aldermore mortgage for purchase of a new build (under development) in Edenthorpe with 60% loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Aldermore ?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Aldermore conveyancing panel, but Aldermore would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.

four months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Edenthorpe 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.

They will also have local intelligence which is a plus. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you.
