Various internet forums that I have visited warn that are the primary cause of stalling in Huyton conveyancing transactions. Is that correct?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published determinations of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the most frequent causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Searches are unlikely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Huyton.

3 months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Huyton completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £160,000. 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.

Should I choose a Huyton conveyancing lawyer based in the vicinity that I am hoping to buy? I have an old university friend who can execute the legal formalities but her office is 400miles drive away.

The primary upside of using a local Huyton conveyancing practice is that you can drop in to sign documents, present your ID and pester them where appropriate. Having local Huyton know how is a bonus. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If if people you trust instructed your friend and they were content that should trump using an unknown Huyton conveyancing lawyer just because they are round the corner.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide a more accurate figure without more comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.

Me and my husband are selling a Huyton bungalow we inherited some years ago in 2012. I have over 15 years conveyancing knowledge and, now retired, wish to carry out the conveyancing. The buyer's conveyancing practitioner has informed me that their bank will not allow us to do our own conveyancing as they require the funds to be sent to a solicitor's bank account.

Lending requirements to conveyancers from all CML members specify that If the vendor does not have legal representation the purchaser’s lawyers should check whether the bank needs to be informed so that a decision can be made as to whether or not they are prepared to proceed.
