It has been 3 months since my purchase conveyancing in Calverton took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £170,000. 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 premises 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 Calverton differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Calverton come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because new home sellers in Calverton usually buy the real estate, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Calverton or who has acted in the same development.

There are a number of properties in Calverton on private lanes. We are buying such a property. What are the pros and cons of purchasing a property on a private road?
Calverton conveyancing firms are used to dealing propertieson private. The lawyer will review the title to identify any rights or liabilities. It is possible that there is a management company (wholly owned by residents) that owners make annual payments for the upkeep of the road. Where there is one, the road should be maintained and look better than publicly owned.
