A mortgage agreement from NatWest for the remortgage of my 4 bedroom garden flat is expected any day now. Can you put forward a cheap conveyancing practitioner in Cross Hands?
You have arrived at the wrong place to search for cut-price fees for conveyancing solicitors in Cross Hands. We can offer you affordable conveyancing but we do not work with the cheapest lawyers. Resist the temptation to appoint organisations offering the bait of £100 conveyancing in Cross Hands.

Last June we completed a house move in Cross Hands. We have noticed several problems with the property which we believe were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? Can you clarify the type of searches that needed to have been ordered as part of conveyancing in Cross Hands?
The question is vague as what problems have arisen and if they are specific to conveyancing in Cross Hands. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated during the buying process are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a seller fills in a questionnaire known as a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information is misleading, you may have a misrepresentation claim against the vendor for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Cross Hands.

4 months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Cross Hands completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 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.
I opted to have a survey completed on a property in Cross Hands in advance of appointing conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. My surveyor advised that some banks may refuse to give a loan on this type of property.
It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different instructions for example to Birmingham Midshires. If you e-mail us we can check via the appropriate bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Cross Hands.
