Do the Building Society Association intend to launch a online directory to to identify solicitors on the Melton Mowbray Building Society conveyancing panel for instance in Witney?

We are not aware of any intention on the part of the BSA to develop such a tool.

It has been four months since my purchase conveyancing in Witney concluded. 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 residence 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 can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my business offices in Witney and how can you help?

The particular law that you refer to gives protection to business leaseholders, granting the a statutory right to make a request to court for a continuation of occupancy at the end of the lease term. There are limited grounds where a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complex. We are happy to direct you to commercial conveyancing solicitors who use the act to your advantage and handle your commercial conveyancing in Witney

In my capacity as executor for the will of my aunt I am disposing of a house in Monmouth but reside in Witney. My solicitor (who is 260 miles from merequires that I execute a stat dec before completion. Could you suggest a conveyancing solicitor in Witney who can witness and place their company stamp on the document?

strictly speaking you should not be required to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally any notary public or solicitor will be fine regardless of whether they are based in Witney

I have been informed by many friends that it can take 6-8 weeks for Witney conveyancing to complete.This was a month ago. The property information was only received from the vendors conveyancing practitioner yesterday so does the clock start running now?

You should take with some degree of scepticism any assurance as to expedited completion times. Rather you should enquire about the average timeframe to complete Witney conveyancing deals and if they are willing to work towards an agreed target date for your home move in Witney
