My husband and I are purchasing a purpose built apartment in Topsham with a residential mortgage from The Royal Bank of Scotland.We would like to retain our Topsham conveyancing lawyer but The Royal Bank of Scotland advised that his firm is not on their approved list of firms. we are left little option but to use a The Royal Bank of Scotland panel lawyer or keep our local solicitor and fork out for a The Royal Bank of Scotland panel lawyer to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The home loan offered to you contains various provisions, one of which will be that conveyancers needs to be on the The Royal Bank of Scotland approved list. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could choose 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. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for The Royal Bank of Scotland

It has been 4 months following my purchase conveyancing in Topsham concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 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.
