My Solicitor in Spalding has never been on on the Nottingham Building Society Approved Panel. Is it possible for me to continue with my family solicitor even though they are not on the Nottingham Building Society panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
Your options are as follows:
- Carry on with your preferred Spalding solicitors but Nottingham Building Society will need to use a lawyer on their list of acceptable firms. This will result in additional overall conveyancing charges and cause frustration.
- Choose a new lawyer to act in the conveyancing, obviously checking they are on the Nottingham Building Society panel
four months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Spalding 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'm converting the mortgage on my primary home to a buy to let loan with Barnsley Building Society and intend to use the remaining equity towards a second property. The area we are looking at is Spalding. Will your conveyancers be able to act for the two mortgage companies and link together the conveyances?
Do use our comparison tool on this page to check that the conveyancers are on the appropriate lender panels. On the basis that they are your conveyancer should be able to connect the two deals but you should have a chat with you solicitor and make clear your desired outcome and needs.

A licensed conveyancer acted on my conveyancing in Spalding 5 years ago and was holding my deeds but has since been shut down – how do I retreive these?
Title deeds, as such, no longer exist as the majority of properties in Spalding are registered digitally at Land Registry. If you need to establish ownership or are disposing of or refinancing your conveyancing practitioner should obtain up to date copies of the register from the Land Registry in any case.
