My IFA has requested my Frenchay Common law firm’s panel reference for the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I find this out. I have e-mailed my local Frenchay Common branch but they cant find it on their system.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Frenchay Common conveyancer . Most Frenchay Common law firms will retain a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each bank.
Can you explain why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Frenchay Common costs more?
The conveyancing costs on a leasehold premises in Frenchay Common is often more expensive than on a freehold residence. This is because there is an amount of supplemental time required in liaising with the landlord and management company to obtain evidence about whether the rent and service fee have been paid and whether there are any large sums expected to be spent in the near future on repairs or maintenance of the block.
Are the BSA intent on creating a search tool with a view to to identify solicitors on the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society conveyancing panel for instance in Frenchay Common?
Lexsure has not been advised of any plans on the part of the BSA to promote such a register.
It has been five months since my purchase conveyancing in Frenchay Common took place. 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 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.
