Various online forums that I have come across warn that are a common cause of delay in Cranleigh house deals. Is there any truth in this?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released conclusions of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the top 10 causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Searches are not likely to feature in any delay in conveyancing in Cranleigh.
It has been five months following my purchase conveyancing in Cranleigh concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 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 Cranleigh differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Cranleigh come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because developers in Cranleigh typically buy 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 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 used to new build conveyancing in Cranleigh or who has acted in the same development.

My step-father completed his conveyancing in Cranleigh ten years ago. He has got married, widowed and has recently married again. He will be marketing the apartment in a few months. I suspect that he will simply be asked to supply copies of the marriage certificates to the conveyancing practitioner however he is anxious it could frustrate the home move. Should he instruct a lawyer to update the title information for the property?
The is no need to update the register as long as you have the evidence needed to demonstrate how the change of name occurred.
The buyer’s conveyancing practitioner should examine the registered entries and require evidence to prove the name change for example marriage certificates.
