My financial adviser has requested my Wooler solicitor’s panel reference for the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I discover this. I have e-mailed my local Wooler branch but they don't know it.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Wooler conveyancer . Most Wooler conveyancing practices will retain a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each lender.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as FTB of a ground floor flat in Wooler. Do I receive the keys to the house on completion from my solicitor? If so, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Wooler?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will transfer the purchase money to the owner’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be invited to receive the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
We had selected conveyancers located in Wooler on the Coventry BS solicitor panel. They are now charging me a supplemental charge for the legal aspects of the Coventry BS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Coventry BS?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your solicitor is entitled to charge a fee for this. The fee is not set by Coventry BS but by your Wooler property lawyer. Numerous firms on the Coventry BS panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee but some practices incorporate it on their overall fee.
Can I be sure that the Wooler conveyancing solicitor on the Clydesdale panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Wooler obtaining recommendations is a good start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always recommend that you speak with the lawyer handling your conveyancing.
four months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Wooler 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 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.
In my capacity as executor for the will of my grandmother I am disposing of a house in Cardiff but reside in Wooler. My lawyer (based 300 kilometers awayneeds me to execute a stat dec prior to the transaction finalising. Can you recommend a conveyancing lawyer in Wooler to witness this legal document for me?
strictly speaking you are not likely to be required to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily any notary public or qualified solicitor will do regardless of whether they are Wooler based
New build sellers have recommended to me a conveyancer and I've sought a quote from them. They are nearly two hundred pounds cheaper than my preferred Wooler solicitor. What's the catch?
Builders often have panels of lawyers who are quick and who know the seller’s documentation and solicitor. Plenty of developers offer an inducement to use a preferred lawyer for this reason, any increased charges can be avoided and a developer will not recommend a conveyancing warehouse and run the risk of having the conveyancing delayed when they require an exchange in 28 days. A counter-argument for not opting for the recommended conveyancer is that they may be reluctant to fight for your interests for fear of upsetting the housebuilder. Where you have concerns that this may be the case you should stick with your high street Wooler lawyer.
