We are soon to exchange buying a house in Rusholm but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate compensation from the seller in the sum of £3k taking the form of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process but Lloyds are not allowing this. Should they have been involved?

Any conveyancer being on a Lloyds conveyancing panel is obliged to inform Lloyds of any amendments to the sale price. If you prohibit your property lawyer to report the price change to Lloyds then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Lloyds and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Rusholm.

I am thinking of refinancing my property in Rusholm, does my lawyer have to be on the Nottingham Conveyancing panel?

In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Nottingham conveyancing panel, but Nottingham would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.

I have justdiscovered that Stirling Law have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Rusholm for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 10 months ago. How can I check that my home is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?
