I have just been advised by my mortgage adviser that my Bankside property lawyer is not on the lender Conveyancing panel. What can I do to check?
You need to contact your Bankside lawyer directly. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to notify you of the situation. Where they are not on the panel they may be able to suggest a Bankside conveyancing practice that is on the conveyancing panel for your bank.
4 months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Bankside concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website 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 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.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Bankside is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Bankside are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Bankside you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Bankside may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
