I am under pressure from the mortgagee in possession of a property in Berkshire to sign contracts within four weeks. What can I do to expedite matters?
First, If the seller is applying pressure for your conveyancing it is highly recommended that your lawyer is familiar with the area as they will make use of local connections and insight. It is possible that they could have handled previousproperties in the same neighbourhood. Therefore consider using a Berkshire conveyancing solicitor. In addition, be sure that the conveyancing firm is on the on the approved list for your mortgage company. It is believed that just under twenty per cent of Berkshire conveyancing deals are frustrated or derailed after finding out that a purchaser’s solicitor was not on their banks list of approved solicitors. In many cases this discovery resulted in the legal transfer of property being frustrated by an average of three weeks. It is claimed that this issue impacts in the region of 100,000 home moves every year. Almost all Berkshire conveyancing firms can not represent certain mortgage companies so do check at the outset.
five months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Berkshire completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £170,000. 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.
Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Berkshire ahead of instructing lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the house. My surveyor has said that some lenders tend not issue a mortgage on a flying freehold house.
