Finally the sale completed on my house in Brighouse last August yet the purchaser is SMS messaging me to moan that her lawyer is waiting to hear from mylawyer. What are the post completion sale legalities now that I have sold?
Following your house sale your conveyancer should deliver the transfer documentation and all additional paperwork to the purchaser's solicitors. If applicable, your solicitor must also send confirmation that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been discharged to the purchasers lawyers. There are no post completion steps specific conveyancing in Brighouse.

I am being told by my lawyer that breach of easement insurance is required on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Brighouse conveyancing?
The appropriate level of breach of easement indemnity insurance should be dictated by who your lender. It would differ for example between Lloyds TSB Bank and Chelsea Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.

2 months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Brighouse concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 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.
How does conveyancing in Brighouse differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Brighouse come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because builders in Brighouse tend to purchase the site, 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 Brighouse or who has acted in the same development.
We're new to the buying process - agreed a price, yet the agent advised that the vendor will only proceed if we instruct their chosen lawyers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Brighouse
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this request. Should the vendor want ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Speak to the owners direct and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to appoint your preferred Brighouse conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will provide their estate agent a commission or meet his conveyancing figures set by corporate headquarters.
