They will carry out all the appropriate legal checks on the property, ensuring that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the necessary mortgage documentation is dealt with. One can appoint a Oxfordshire lawyer of your choice. Nevertheless, where the property lawyer selected is not on the lender solicitor panel supplemental charges will arise as separate legal representation will be need by the mortgage company. Conveyancing panel applications can be submitted, so provided your solicitor has not historically applied for membership they should take the opportunity to apply.

It has been four months since my purchase conveyancing in Oxfordshire concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 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 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.
