Me and my fiance are purchasing a 3 bedroom apartment in Miles Platting with a mortgage. We wish to retain our Miles Platting lawyer, but the mortgage company says he's not on their "panel". It seems we have no choice but to select one of the bank panel conveyancing practices or retain our Miles Platting solicitor as well as pay for one of their panel lawyers to act for them. We consider that this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your Miles Platting conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
three months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Miles Platting took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £170,000. 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.
I am looking for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Miles Platting I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease.

Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
