Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Frampton Cotterell. What is the rationale as to why all Frampton Cotterell solicitors are not on all bank panels?
Lenders tend to restrict either the type or volume of conveyancing firms on their approved list of lawyers. Frequent examples of such restriction(s) being that the organisation needs to have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the nature of firm, some lenders decided to restrict the number of conveyancers they use to represent them. It is worth noting that lenders have no responsibility for the standard of advice given by any Frampton Cotterell property lawyer on their approved list. Mortgage fraud was the key driver in the reduction of solicitor panels a few years ago even though there are conflicting assessments about whether solicitors sat at the center of that fraud. Statistics via the Land Registry indicates that thousands of conveyancing firms only carry out a couple of conveyances annually. Those supporting conveyancing panel cuts question why law firms deserve the right to be listed on a conveyancing panel when it is apparent that conveyancing is not their speciality?
Are the Frampton Cotterell conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the Barclays conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by Barclays?

It has been four months following my purchase conveyancing in Frampton Cotterell concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 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.

There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Frampton Cotterell. All leases are unique and legal mistakes in the legal wording can sometimes mean that certain sections are wrong. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:
-

You will encounter a problem when selling your property if you have a defective lease primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property.
