It is is a decade since I bought my property in Beadnell. Conveyancing solicitors have just been retained on the sale but I am unable to find my title deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
Don’t worry too much. First there is a chance that the deeds will be with your lender or they may be archived with the conveyancers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers procuring current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Beadnell relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.
My fiance and I are purchasing a 1 bedroom apartment in Beadnell with a homeloan from Santander.We would like to retain our Beadnell conveyancing practitioner but Santander says his firm is not listed on their approved list of firms. It seems we are left with no choice but to instruct a Santander panel solicitor or retain our high street solicitor and fork out for a Santander panel lawyer to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Santander use our lawyer?
No, not really. The loan issued to you contains various provisions, one of which will be that solicitors needs to be on the Santander approved list. in the past, most banks had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Santander
four months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Beadnell took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. 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.
About to purchase a new build flat in Beadnell. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.

There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants.

The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Please supply a car parking plan.
Developers have put forward a lawyer and I've sought an estimate from them. They are almost two hundred pounds cheaper than my local Beadnell conveyancer. Should I use them?
Builders often have lists of lawyers who are quick and who know the seller’s paperwork and conveyancing practitioner. As many developers offer an incentive to choose their approved conveyancing practitioner for this reason, any increased fees can be avoided and a builder won't suggest a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the conveyancing delayed when they want exchange in 28 days. The argument for not agreeing to use the suggested solicitor is that they may be hesitant to fight for your interests at the risk of alienating the housebuilder. Where you have concerns that this may be the case you should remain with your high street Beadnell lawyer.
