Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Walthamstow Village is not on my mortgage company's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of her conveyancing?
It would not be wise to jump to that conclusion. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator revealed that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) lack of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. If you are concerned you should contact the Walthamstow Village conveyancing firm and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.
Are the Walthamstow Village conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the Co-operative conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by Co-operative?
Walthamstow Village conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Co-operative conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Co-operative directly.
I am purchasing a flat and need a conveyancing solicitor in Walthamstow Village who is on the The Royal Bank of Scotland solicitor. Can you recommend a local solicitor?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for The Royal Bank of Scotland in certain locations such as Walthamstow Village. We dont recommend any particular firm.
4 months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Walthamstow Village took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 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 property 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 have been recommended by numerous estate agents in Walthamstow Village to get a quote from a solicitor on your site. Is there a financial upside for Estate Agents to promote your services over a competitor’s?
We don’t give any commission for pointing buyers and sellers our way. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission because members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
