We were about to retain a conveyancing solicitor in Crook Log found on your site but have come across some other quotes via the web appear less pricey – how come?

we are a couple who are hoping to buy a purpose built apartment in Crook Log with a residential mortgage from Barclays Direct.We use our Crook Log conveyancing lawyer but Barclays Direct says her practice is not listed on their approved list of member firms. we are left little option but to use a Barclays Direct panel lawyer or keep our high street solicitor and pay for a Barclays Direct panel lawyer to act for them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Barclays Direct use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you contains terms and conditions, a common one being that solicitors will be on the Barclays Direct solicitor panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Barclays Direct
How does conveyancing in Crook Log differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Crook Log approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because builders in Crook Log tend to acquire the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Crook Log or who has acted in the same development.

We are in the process of buying a home in Crook Log. Conveyancing is not over but we wish to have our purchase price a secret from the likes of Nestoria. Is this possible and how?
HMLR as a matter of law obliged to specify price paid information on a register of the title for domestic properties countrywide which includes properties in Crook Log. The register of title is an open document, so the Land Registry would be breaking the law if they did not permit access to the register.
In essence you can ask HMLR to hide the amount paid entry however the answer would be in the negative.
