We previously instructed conveyancers located in Sefton on the Coventry BS solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me a further amount for dealing with the Coventry BS mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Coventry BS?

As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your conveyancing practitioner is entitled to charge a fee for this. The charge is not set by Coventry BS but by your Sefton conveyancing practitioner. Numerous firms on the Coventry BS panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Sefton. I have a mortgage agreed with Aldermore. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Aldermore, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.

I recently had an offer agreed on a house in Sefton. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an on account payment of £150. A couple of days later, the conveyancing practitioner called me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Yorkshire BS panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

three months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Sefton completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £170,000. 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 decided to have a survey done on a property in Sefton prior to retaining solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. Our surveyor has said that some mortgage companies tend not issue a mortgage on such a premises.
