My mortgage broker requires my Alfriston solicitor’s panel reference for the Santander conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I find this out. I have contacted my local Alfriston branch but they don't know it.
Have you tried speaking to your Alfriston conveyancer about this?. Most Alfriston law practices will retain a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each mortgage company.
The owners of the property we are purchasing are using a conveyancing solicitor in Alfriston who has suggested a preliminary agreement with a deposit of 5k. Are such arrangements the norm for Alfriston conveyancing transactions?
This form of contract is unusual in Alfriston, conveyancers will often try and steer clients away from them as they detract from focusing on the primary focus, namely conveyancing and if you end up losing your deposit then the lawyer is left exposed. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that just because the owner has entered into a lock out contract they will complete the sale with you. They may be in contravention of the contract if they receive a large enough incentive to do so because an aggrieved party with the benefit of a lockoutcontract will still be duty bound to establish consequential losses from the breach and this may not compare to the financial upside that your vendor may gain by breaching the agreement, however morally reprehensible the behaviour is.
It has been 2 months following my purchase conveyancing in Alfriston completed. I have checked the Land Registry site 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.
I opted to have a survey carried out on a house in Alfriston in advance of appointing conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. Our surveyor has said that some lenders may not issue a loan on this type of home.
