I can't travel far from Nailsworth. Please spell out why all Nailsworth conveyancers are not on all bank panels?
Banks normally restrict either the nature or volume of conveyancing solicitors on their approved list of lawyers. Typical examples of such criteria being that a organisation must have two or more partners. As well as restricting the structure of firm, some building societies decided to limit the size of their panel they allow to act for them. You should note that lenders have no accountability for the accuracy of advice given by any Nailsworth lawyer on their approved list. Increases in mortgage fraud was the key driver in the rationalisation of solicitor panels from 2008 even though there are contrary thoughts about whether solicitors sat at the center of that fraud. Statistics via HM Land Registry indicates that thousands of law practices only transact less than three conveyances annually. Those supporting conveyancing panel cuts question why law firms should have claim to be on a lender panel when clearly property law is not their primary expertise?

Should our lawyer be raising questions concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in Nailsworth.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors dealing with homes in Nailsworth. Some people will acquire a house in Nailsworth, completely aware that at some time, it may be flooded.

It has been 2 months following my purchase conveyancing in Nailsworth took place. I have checked the Land Registry site 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 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.

Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?
