Please explain the implications if my solicitor is suspended from the Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Priorslee?

First, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.

This question may be naive but I am wet behind the ears as a 1st time purchaser of a two bedroom flat in Priorslee. Do I pick up the keys to the house on completion from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Priorslee?

On the day of completion you will not be required to attend the conveyancers office in Priorslee. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the completion advance to the vendor’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be invited to pick up the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.

My conveyancer has informed me that flying freehold insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Priorslee?

The right level of flying freehold indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between and . Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.

Can you point me to a directory of panel solicitors in Priorslee on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?

4 months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Priorslee took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 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 am purchasing a new build house in Priorslee with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The estate agent suggested that I not disclose to my solicitor about this extras as it would jeopardize my loan with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I have chosen a Priorslee conveyancing solicitor for our house purchase (novice purchasers) and have picked up in the Ts and Cs that they are not covered by the Financial Conduct Authority. Should I be worried or is that the norm with ?

We can't see why they should be. Most don't lend money. You should check that they are governed by the SRA, who dictate strict laws regulating monies held by them.
