I am not well enough to travel far from Blakeney. Please clarify why all Blakeney conveyancers are not on all lender panels?
Even though it may seem unfair for banks to restrict who can act for them, from the public’s or solicitor’s point of view, the other side of the coin is that mortgage companies are becoming ever more anxious and consider it vital to protect them from mortgage fraud. As a result of this concern banks have reduced their conveyancing panel to a size that they are happy to control.
At what point does exchange of contracts happen for purchase conveyancing in Blakeney and do I need to be at the conveyancers branch?
Where you are near to our conveyancing solicitors in Blakeney you are welcome to attend to sign the paperwork. However, the firms we recommend offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide just as detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The signing of the purchase agreement is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line is just a prerequisite for the firm to address the formalities when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where an extended "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Blakeney)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
4 months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Blakeney 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 am attracted to a two maisonettes in Blakeney both have about 50 years unexpired on the leases. Will this present a problem?
A lease is a right to use the premises for a prescribed time frame. As the lease gets shorter the value of the lease decreases and results in it becoming more costly to acquire a lease extension. For this reason it is advisable to extend the lease term. It is often difficult to sell a property with a short lease because mortgage lenders may be unwilling to lend money on such properties. Lease extension can be a difficult process. We recommend you seek professional help from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this field.
