I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Yorkshire BS. Is it usual for Yorkshire BS to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Wroxham is approved on their conveyancing panel? Yorkshire BS have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.

Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Yorkshire BS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

Aldermore have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a apartment in Wroxham has been agreed to, what are the next steps?

The property agent will want to know who your solicitors are (be sure the conveyancers are on the bank’s panel). Contact Aldermore or the broker and complete any appropriate paperwork. Aldermore will instruct a valuer who will get in contact with the selling agent or vendor to schedule a slot for the valuation to happen. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes about a week to receive the mortgage offer. Aldermore will send the offer to you and your property lawyers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Wroxham.

It has been five months since my purchase conveyancing in Wroxham took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 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 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 son is just in the process of moving home, he had his mortgage in principle. When the offer was accepted on flat we contacted the mortgage institution to go forward with his. I was shocked to learn that mortgage lenders do not accept all property lawyer, they must be on their panel, is this right?

Mortgage Companies normally restrict either the type or the number of conveyancing firms on their panel. Typical examples of such restriction(s) being that a firm must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some have decided to limit the number of firms they use to represent them. You should note that banks have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any Wroxham solicitor on their panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago and whilst there are differing views about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry reveal that thousands of law firms only carry out one or two conveyances a year. Those supporting conveyancing panel cuts ask why law firms should have the right to be on a Lender panel when clearly, conveyancing is not their speciality. To put it another way; would you want a conveyancing solicitor to represent you if you were charged with a crime? Unlikely.
