We are intending to purchase a 2 bedroom flat in Gunnislake with a mortgage. We would like to retain our Gunnislake conveyancer, but the mortgage company says he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the mortgage company panel conveyancing practices or continue with our Gunnislake and pay for one of their panel lawyers to represent them. This feels very unfair; are we not able to demand that the bank use our Gunnislake ?
No, not really. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your Gunnislake conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
Do the Building Society Association intend to launch a search tool with a view to to identify practices on the conveyancing panel for instance in Gunnislake?
We would not expect to be advised of any intention on the part of the BSA to promote such a search facility.

It has been 3 months since my purchase conveyancing in Gunnislake took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. 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 asset 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.
