Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Bowthorpe

I instructed a high street lawyer for our conveyancing in Bowthorpe last week. Upon checking the Terms I seewe are on the hook for charges even if our purchase doesn't happen. Should I go with them or appoint a web based conveyancing brokerage promising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Bowthorpe?

It is usually a trade off in that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be more expensive to neutralise the transactions that abort. Please beware that these schemes generally do not cover expenditure e.g. Bowthorpe conveyancing search expenses.

I am purchasing a semi-detached house in Bowthorpe. Can I do my own conveyancing?

Leaving aside the complexities and merits of DIY conveyancing in Bowthorpe you will have to appoint a solicitor on your mortgage company's conveyancing panel to look after their interests. Most people therefore find it easier to let the solicitor act for them and the lender. Furthermore there is minimal cost savings to be made in you doing conveyancing for yourself and another lawyer conducting the conveyancing for the lender. Please feel free to use the search tool to find a lawyer on your lender panel in Bowthorpe.

I have been told that property searches are the primary reason for obstruction in Bowthorpe conveyancing transactions. Is this right?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the findings of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the top 10 causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Searches are not likely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Bowthorpe.

3 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Bowthorpe completed. 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 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 have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Bowthorpe I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Bowthorpe for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?

Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.

Am I better off to appoint a Bowthorpe conveyancing practitioner based in the vicinity that I am purchasing? I have an old university friend who can carry out the legal formalities however they are based over three hundred kilometers drive away.

The primary upside of using a high street Bowthorpe conveyancing firm is that you can drop in to sign paperwork, hand in your identification documents and pester them where appropriate. Having local Bowthorpe know how is a bonus. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who used your friend and on the whole were impressed that must trump using an unfamiliar Bowthorpe conveyancing lawyer just because they are Bowthorpe based.
