I am hoping to receive a mortgage with Lloyds. I hope to enlist the help of a Licensed Conveyancer in Fernhill Heath. Does the Lloyds Solicitor panel allow for Licensed Conveyancers?
The Lloyds approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, associated to the Council or Mortgage Lenders or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.

- Choose an alternative practitioner to to deal with the purchase, remembering to check they are Persuade your lawyer to use their best endeavours to join the Barclays conveyancing panel
I happen to be the only beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Fernhill Heath. The Fernhill Heath property was put into my name in May. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be treated the same way as if I'd bought the house in May. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook instructs solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be impacted by that. Most banks would take a practical view as this provision principally exists to identify subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
We have a mortgage agreed in principle with Aldermore. Fernhill Heath conveyancing solicitors are selected. How long does it take for Aldermore to issue the offer to the conveyancer?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Aldermore done the valuation? Have you informed Aldermore as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
Nottingham have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on a apartment in Fernhill Heath has been agreed to, now what?
Your property agent will wish to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the solicitors are on the bank’s approved list). Call up Nottingham or the financial adviser and finalise any relevant forms. Nottingham will instruct a valuer who will get in touch with the estate agent or seller to schedule a slot for the valuation to take place. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes about a week for the mortgage offer to be issued. Nottingham will send the offer to you and your conveyancers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Fernhill Heath.
It has been five months following my purchase conveyancing in Fernhill Heath completed. 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 premises 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.
