Is the fact that my conveyancer in Gorseinon is not on my bank's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of her work?
That would more than likely be an incorrect assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should simply call the Gorseinon conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.

It has been 3 months since my purchase conveyancing in Gorseinon completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £180,000. 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.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my garden apartment in Gorseinon. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have just had a yearly service charge demand – Do I pay up?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should discharge the invoice as normal as all rents and service charges will be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.

What is the service charge and ground rent on the property?
