five months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Moston completed. I have checked the Land Registry website 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.

How does conveyancing in Moston differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Moston approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Moston usually acquire 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 Moston or who has acted in the same development.

Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to appoint your preferred Moston conveyancing firm - not the ones that will provide their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing figures pre-set by head office.
