I am hoping to receive a mortgage offer from Santander. I intend to enlist the help of a Licensed Conveyancer in Mountsorrel. Does the Santander Conveyancing panel exclude Licensed Conveyancers?
The Santander approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, represented by the CML or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
My fiance and I are buying a newly converted flat in Mountsorrel with a homeloan from The Royal Bank of Scotland.We have a Mountsorrel conveyancing lawyer but The Royal Bank of Scotland says his firm is not on their approved list of member firms. we are left little option but to use a The Royal Bank of Scotland panel firm or keep our preferred solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that The Royal Bank of Scotland use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The home loan offered to you contains various provisions, one of which will be that conveyancers must be on the The Royal Bank of Scotland approved list. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for The Royal Bank of Scotland
It has been three months since my purchase conveyancing in Mountsorrel completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 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 residence 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.
