Just been in touch with my conveyancing solicitor in Deganwy who conducted the legals two years ago requesting a conveyancing estimate based on an identical type of house move (a leasehold residence and a freehold property) of almost identical values with a loan from Godiva Mortgages Ltd. It looks as though am now being charged twice the amount. Better the devil I know or should I seek out an alternative conveyancer?
The estimate does seem a tad on the high side. Where you are willing to invest time scrutinising charges you may be able to shave off some of the expense by perhaps £100 plus VAT. On the other hand, if you were pleased with the assistance the firm offered you maycome to regret choosing an an untested solicitor. Remember to be sure the firm can represent Godiva Mortgages Ltd.

The owners have rather brash vendors who has suggested a preliminary contract with a deposit 6,000. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
This form of agreement is unusual in Deganwy, conveyancers are often inclined to direct clients away from them as they detract from focusing on the main conveyancing focus and if you end up losing your deposit then the lawyer at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. Secondly, there is no assurance that just because the seller has signed a lock out contract they will sell to you. They may breach the contract if they are offered a large enough offer to do so because a wronged party with the benefit of a lockoutcontract will still be legally obliged to show losses as a consequence of the breach and these may not equate the extra amount that your vendor may secure by breaking the agreement, no matter how morally condemnable that may be.
It has been 2 months since my purchase conveyancing in Deganwy took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 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.
