Various online forums that I have visited warn that are a common cause of stalling in Barry conveyancing transactions. Is this right?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published determinations of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the most frequent causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Searches are unlikely to feature in any slowing down conveyancing in Barry.
three months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Barry took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 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 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.

Our conveyancer has advised that he intends to complete and exchange simultaneously on our sale of a £325,000 apartment in Barry in 5 days. The landlords agents has quoted £420 for Certificate of Compliance, insurance certificate and previous years statements of service charge. Is the landlord entitled to charge an administration fee for a leasehold conveyance in Barry?
Barry conveyancing on leasehold apartments usually requires the buyer’s conveyancer submitting questions for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is not legally bound to answer these enquiries most will be content to do so. They are entitled to levy a reasonable charge for answering enquiries or supplying documentation. There is no set fee. The average costs for the information that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some transactions it exceeds £800. The management information fee invoiced by the landlord must be accompanied by a summary of rights and obligations in respect of administration fees, without which the invoice is technically not due. In reality you have little choice but to pay whatever is requested of you if you want to complete the sale of your home.
