Can you help? My Morden Park solicitor is advising me that he has toorder Morden Park conveyancing searches becausethe firm are on the Virgin Moneyapproved lawyer panel. Is my lawyer right?
Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. As you are obtaining a home loan with a lender your property lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancing practitioner would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook specifications . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Morden Park conveyancing searches.

three months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Morden Park took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £160,000. 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.

I have just started marketing my ground floor flat in Morden Park. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have recently had a half-yearly maintenance charge demand – what should I do?
It best that you pay the service charge as you normally would given that all ground rent and maintenance invoices will be apportioned on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents 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.
