It has been four months since my purchase conveyancing in Cemaes Bay completed. 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 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.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one near me in Cemaes Bay I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Cemaes Bay for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
My wife and I are acquiring a first floor flat in Cemaes Bay. At the point of instructing our lawyer, they assured us that they were on all mainstream lender panels. Our financial adviser called just now to say that they are not on the Nationwide approved list. If it turns out to be true, what should we do? Do we just find a different solicitor that is on their approved list or should we pay for separate representation, with Nationwide selecting their own preferred property lawyer.
Where you are acquiring a property requiring a mortgage it is conventional for the buyer’s solicitors to also represent the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a lawyer has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the lawyer to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict conditions which the solicitor has to satisfy. Some lenders now require their panel firms to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your conveyancer should call Nationwide 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 Nationwide's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Cemaes Bay lawyers, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it may delay matters as you have another set of people involved.
