We wanted to use a conveyancing solicitor in Chopwell for our home move. Our broker informed us that our bank Alliance & Leicester won't deal with them. Surely this is unduly restrictive?
A lender can require a panel conveyancer act for it. Borrowers are expected to meet the cost of this. Do use our database to locate a solicitor to conduct conveyancing in Chopwell on the Alliance & Leicester member panel.
A relative advised me that where I am buying in Chopwell I should ask my conveyancer to perform a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?
A search of this type is occasionally included in the estimate for your Chopwell conveyancing searches. It is not a small document of about 40 pages, listing and setting out important information about Chopwell around the property and the people living there. It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the Chopwell Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime details, Local Education with maps and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful information regarding Chopwell.
It has been four months following my purchase conveyancing in Chopwell concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £180,000. 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.
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in Chopwell. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.
