My partner’s sister is a property lawyer. I suspect that I will receive mate’s fee for conveyancing, However if that does not come materialise, what kind of fees should I be paying for conveyancing in Port Clarence?
You should compare pricing. Do use our comparison tool on this site. The amounts will contrast greatly but service levels do are distinct between solicitors as is the case with most professions.
3 months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Port Clarence concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 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 property 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 Port Clarence differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Port Clarence approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because new home sellers in Port Clarence usually 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 property lawyers 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 Port Clarence or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Port Clarence I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Port Clarence for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
