It has been 4 months following my purchase conveyancing in Beaminster 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 premises 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.
How does conveyancing in Beaminster differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Beaminster approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because new home sellers in Beaminster typically purchase the real estate, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Beaminster or who has acted in the same development.

If you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be lengthened by the magistrate. You will be obliged to demonstrate that you have used your best endeavours to locate the freeholder. For most situations an enquiry agent should be useful to conduct investigations and to produce a report to be used as evidence that the landlord can not be located. It is wise to seek advice from a property lawyer in relation to proving the landlord’s absence and the application to the County Court overseeing Beaminster.

My husband and I are acquiring a first floor flat in Beaminster. When we first instructed conveyancing practitioner, they told us that they were on all mainstream lender panels. The mortgage broker called today to say that they don't seem to be on the Yorkshire BS approved list. Were it to be true, what should we do? Do we just choose a different conveyancer that is on their panel or should we cover the costs for separate representation, with Yorkshire BS appointing their own preferred conveyancer.
When purchasing a property with the benefit of a mortgage it is normal for the purchaser’s solicitors to also act for the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a conveyancer has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the property lawyer to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict conditions which the property lawyer has to satisfy. Some lenders now insist their panel firms to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your lawyer should contact Yorkshire BS to discover if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You don't have to instruct a firm on Yorkshire BS's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Beaminster solicitors, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it will likely delay the transaction as you have another set of people involved.
