Me and my fiance are purchasing property in Garforth. My Conveyancer has never been on on the bank solicitor list. Can I still use my Garforth conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the mortgage company approved list?

You must have a lawyer to deal with the legal work required when you require a mortgage to purchase your property. They will carry out all the appropriate due diligence on the property, make sure that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the required mortgage documentation is dealt with. One may select a Garforth conveyancing practitioner of your choosing. Nevertheless, where the property lawyer appointed is not a member of the lender solicitor panel additional charges will be levied as separate legal representation will be required by them. Lender panel applications can be submitted, so if your lawyer has not in the past sought membership they can do so.

It has been three months following my purchase conveyancing in Garforth took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 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.
