I am buying a property mortgage free in Chipping Norton. I have resided for the previous dozen years in Chipping Norton. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. As I have knowledge of the road and vicinity very well must I have all the conveyancing searches?
If you not getting a home loan, then all but one or two of the Chipping Norton conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your lawyer will 'advise', no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches done, but he has a professional duty to do this. One thing to bear in mind; if you are intend to dispose of the house at a future date, it will be of interest to your prospective purchaser what the searches disclose. There are plenty of instances where properties with functional issues can still reveal detrimental search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Chipping Norton should provide you some helpful guidance in this regard.
It is a dozen years since I acquired my home in Chipping Norton. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been appointed on the sale but I am unable to find the title deeds. Will this cause complications?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be retained by the lender or they could be in the possession of the conveyancers who acted in the purchase. Secondly in most cases the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers procuring up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Chipping Norton involves registered property but in the rare situation where your home is unregistered it is more tricky but is resolvable.
It has been four months following my purchase conveyancing in Chipping Norton concluded. 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 property 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 just appointed agents to market my basement flat in Chipping Norton. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, however I have recently had a yearly maintenance charge demand – what should I do?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should discharge the service charge as usual as all ground rent and service charges will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
