I have been referred to a conveyancing solicitor in Burton Joyce. I need to find out if they are on the Nottingham Building Society approved list of lawyers. Could you help?
You should e-mail the solicitor and enquire whether they are on the lender panel. Alternatively you can call Nottingham Building Society who may be able to confirm.
It has been four months since my purchase conveyancing in Burton Joyce completed. I have checked the Land Registry website 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.

Its a good idea to discover as much as you can about the company managing the building as they can either make life much easier or problematic. As the owner of a leasehold property you are often at the mercy of the managing agents both financially and when it comes to daily issues such as the upkeep of the common parts. Ask other people whether they are happy with them. In conclusion, investigate as to the dates that the service charges are due to the managing agents and specifically what you get for your money. How many years are left on the lease? Is there a share of the freehold?
