4 months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Lees took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 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 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've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Lees is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Lees are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Lees you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Lees may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
Should I be concerned about 3rd parties that I am dealing with are recommending a factory type conveyancing firm rather than a local Lees conveyancing firm?
As is the case with many service providers, often input from connections can be extremely useful or valuable. Nevertheless there are numerous players in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, financial adviser and banks may suggest conveyancers to appoint. On occasion these lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but occasionally there behind the scenes commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You are at liberty to appoint your own conveyancer. You need to be aware that many banks have an approved list of law firms you have to use for the lender related work in your transaction.
