My wife and I are due to complete on the purchase of a property in Cross Keys but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have managed to agree recompense from the seller in the sum of £3k in the form of a reduction in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process yet RBS will not permit this. Why were they informed?
Your lawyer being on a RBS conveyancing panel is duty bound to inform RBS of any changes to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your property lawyer to report the reduction to RBS then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, RBS and you would have to appoint a new property lawyer for your conveyancing in Cross Keys.

4 months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Cross Keys completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £160,000. 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.

How does conveyancing in Cross Keys differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Cross Keys approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because developers in Cross Keys usually acquire 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 conveyancers 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 Cross Keys or who has acted in the same development.
