Completion of my purchase has taken place for my property in Bestwood. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?
Almost all lenders have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Department at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are resolved effectively and efficiently. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service who will take matters further.
3 months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Bestwood took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 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 does conveyancing in Bestwood differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Bestwood approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because builders in Bestwood usually acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Bestwood or who has acted in the same development.
Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Bestwood ahead of retaining solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. The surveyor advised that some mortgage companies will not give a loan on such a house.

Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Bestwood to see if the conveyancing will be more expensive.
