My stepmother informed me that in buying a property in Shepshed there could be various restrictions preventing external changes to the property. Is this right?
We are aware of anumerous of properties in Shepshed which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to carry out external alterations. Part of the conveyancing in Shepshed should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.
Can I be sure that the Shepshed conveyancing solicitor on the Co-operative panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Shepshed getting recommendations is a good starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always advise that you speak with the lawyer carrying out your conveyancing.
My sealed bid on a detached house in Shepshed has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The sellers have offered on somewhere, however it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other properties booked. I have instructed a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Shepshed. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with Bank of Ireland going?
It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then survey, Shepshed conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you must ensure that your solicitor is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Regarding the subsequent steps this very much depends on the circumstances of your case, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market the majority of purchasers would apply for a home loan with Bank of Ireland and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their conveyancer to press on with searches.
It has been 4 months since my purchase conveyancing in Shepshed took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £215,000. 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.
I am looking into buying my first house which is in Shepshed and I am already nervous. I couldn't find anything specific about Shepshed. Conveyancing will be needed in due course but do you know about the Shepshed area? or perhaps some other tips you can share?
Rather than looking online forget looking online you should go and have a look at Shepshed. In the meantime here are some basic statistics that we found
My husband and I are novice buyers - agreed a price, but the selling agent informed us that the seller will only issue a contract if we instruct their preferred lawyers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Shepshed
It is improbable the owners are behind this. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine buyer is counter productive. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and make the point that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to appoint your preferred Shepshed conveyancing firm - rather thanthose that will provide their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing figures pre-set by head office.
What can I do where I am dissatisfied with the conveyancer who carried out my conveyancing in Shepshed?

This varies from trying to resolve matters directly with them, through to reporting a conveyancer to their governing body. If you remain dissatisfied you may consider enlisting the help of the Legal Ombudsman.
