I am purchasing property in Cranford. My lawyer is not listed on the bank conveyancing list. Is it possible for me to use my Cranford conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the bank panel?
Various options include
- Carry on with your preferred Cranford conveyancer but your bank will undoubtedly appoint a conveyancing practitioner on their approved panel. This will result in additional cost together with likely interruption.
- Choose a new lawyer to act in the purchase, ensuring that they are on the mortgage company conveyancing panel.
- Convince your conveyancer to pull out all the stops to get listed on the lender’s conveyancing panel

3 months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Cranford completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 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.
How does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my commercial premises in Cranford and how can you help?
The particular law that you refer to gives protection to commercial lessees, giving them the legal entitlement to make a request to court for a renewal tenancy and continue in occupation at the end of the lease term. There are limited grounds where a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complex. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.

Me and my wife have agreed a price on a Cranford apartment left to us 8 years ago in 2011. I have over twenty years conveyancing know-how and, although retired, wish to undertake my own conveyancing. The buyer's lawyer has informed me that their Lenders will not allow you to do your own conveyancing insisting the funds to be sent to a solicitor's bank account.
Lending instructions to lawyers from all mainstream lenders specify that If the seller is not legally represented the buyer’s lawyers should check whether the mortgage company needs to be informed so that a decision can be reached as to whether they are prepared to move forward.
