I have given 2 months notice to my current landlord and have to be out of my let out property in Brompton by . Conveyancing on my purchase has just started. Is it possible to complete in 4 weeks as don't want to have to find short term accommodation?

Generally one should not give notice on a rental until exchange of contracts has taken place. If you have not previously done so, speak to your solicitor and request that they cajole the owners solicitors, try to an agreed time frame that all parties will work to achieve

We note that you have a search directory identifying law firms on the conveyancing panel. Do companies pay you a commission if I retain them for our conveyancing in Brompton?

We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Brompton.

My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Brompton. I I would like to check if they are accepted on the approved list of lawyers. Can you or the lender confirm if they are on the panel?

You should call the conveyancer and ask them if they are on the lender panel. Otherwise you should get in touch with who may be able to help.

three months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Brompton completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £180,000. 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.

My brother mentioned that before choosing a conveyancing firm they must be approved by your bank. I am a FTB but I have an AIP with Birmingham Midhshires and I already have a high street conveyancing solicitor in Brompton at the ready. Does Santander need an approved solicitor to be instructed? If so, where can I find that list so I can pick a conveyancing solicitor in Brompton?

You should choose a solicitor that is on the Santander panel. The simplest thing to do is telephone your preferred Brompton conveyancing lawyer to check if they are on the Santander panel. If they are not on the panel you have a couple of options open to you here:

• Complete the deal with your preferred Brompton but Santander will need to retain a from their approved panel. The net result is additional cost together with potential frustration.
• Appoint a new to conduct the conveyancing, making sure they are on the Santander conveyancing panel.
• Convince your to do everything possible to join the Santander conveyancing panel.
