My Solicitor in Port Talbot is not listed on the Lloyds TSB Bank Solicitor Panel. Can I still use my prefered solicitor even though they are excluded from the Lloyds TSB Bank approved list?
The limited options available to you here include:
- Carry on with your preferred Port Talbot lawyers but Lloyds TSB Bank will need to instruct a solicitor on their list of acceptable firms. This will result in additional overall conveyancing charges as well as result in frustration.
- Find a new lawyer to to deal with the purchase, obviously checking they are on the Lloyds TSB Bank panel
four months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Port Talbot completed. I have checked the Land Registry site 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 residence 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 in 2007. He has been wed, widowed and has recently remarried. He now wishes to the sell the Port Talbot property. I suspect that he will just be asked to supply copies of his marriage certificates to the conveyancer but he is anxious it will frustrate the home sale. Is it worth updating the Land Registry information for the house?
You are not required to bring up to date the register as long as you have the evidence required to show how the change of name resulted.
The buyer’s lawyer should check the title entries and need evidence to prove the name change e.g. marriage documentation.
