Why do I have to pay up front when it comes to conveyancing in Bodelwyddan?
Where you are retaining lawyers for conveyancing in Bodelwyddan your lawyer will request that you put them with monies to cover the search fees. Ordinarily this is called for to cover the fees of the conveyancing searches. If any deposit is payable against the total price then this should be required shortly ahead of contracts are exchanged. The final balance that is needed should be sent to your lawyer a few days ahead of the day of completion.
It has been three months since my purchase conveyancing in Bodelwyddan took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £215,000. 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.

Last December I purchased a leasehold property in Bodelwyddan. Do I have any liability for service charges for periods before my ownership?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
