We had appointed conveyancers located in Newton Ferrers on the Kent Reliance solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me a separate amount for the legal aspects of the Kent Reliance mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Kent Reliance?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your property lawyer may levy a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by Kent Reliance but by your Newton Ferrers solicitor. Numerous firms on the Kent Reliance panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee but many practices incorporate it on their overall fee.
My partner and I have arranged the release of further monies on our home loan from Nationwide as we want to carry out a loft conversion to our house in Newton Ferrers. Do we need to select a local Newton Ferrers solicitor on the Nationwide conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?

It has been three months following my purchase conveyancing in Newton Ferrers completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £160,000. 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 husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, but the property agent advised that the vendor will only proceed if we use their preferred lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family solicitor who is accustomed to conveyancing in Newton Ferrers
It is improbable the vendors are behind this. If they require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Contact the vendors directly and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to appoint your preferred Newton Ferrers conveyancing firm - rather thanthose that will provide their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing figures set by head office.
