My wife and I are buying a flat in Buxton. My lawyer is not listed on the bank approved panel. Am I still permitted to appoint my Buxton conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the mortgage company list of approved lawyers?

You will need to instruct a to complete the formalities if you require a loan to purchase your home. They will carry out all the relevant investigations on the property, ensuring that you’re properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the necessary mortgage paperwork is dealt with. One could appoint a Buxton of your choosing. However, where the appointed is not on the mortgage company approved list additional fees will be levied as separate legal representation will be need by the lender. Conveyancing panel applications may be submitted, so where your conveyancer has not historically applied for membership they should take the opportunity to apply.

three months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Buxton completed. I have checked the Land Registry website 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.
