My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Cornwall. I I would like to check whether they are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Can you advise?

The first thing you should do is contact the lawyer and ask them if they are on the lender panel. Otherwise please get in touch with Bank of Ireland who may be able to help.

four months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Cornwall concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website 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 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've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Cornwall is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Cornwall are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Cornwall you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Cornwall may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.

I need to appoint a conveyancing solicitor for freehold conveyancing in Cornwall. I happened to discover a web site which looks to be the ideal offering If there is a chance to get all this stuff completed via phone that would be preferable. Do I need to be concerned? What are the potential pitfalls?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?

I see that you have a search directory listing law firms on the lender conveyancing panel. Do Cornwall conveyancing firms pay you a referral fee if I retain them for my own conveyancing?

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