As someone with no idea as to conveyancing in Duxford what is your top tip you can impart for the legal transfer of property in Duxford

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Duxford and elsewhere in England and Wales is an adversarial experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is lots of room for friction between you and others involved in the home moving process. For instance, the vendor, estate agent and sometimes your bank. Appointing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Duxford is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the transaction whose interest is to act in your legal interests and to protect you.

Sometimes a third party with a vested interest may attempt to convince you that you should follow their advice. As an example, the selling agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your solicitor is wrong. Or your mortgage broker may tell you to do something that is against your lawyers advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.

Following the demise of Home Packs, energy performance certificates was left as a compulsory component of moving house.

If you are using a Duxford conveyancing solicitor they might be willing to arrange energy assessments due to their relationships with reputable Duxford energy assessors

I have paid off my mortgage with Lloyds. I assume I don't need a Duxford lawyer on the Lloyds panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

If you have finished paying off your Lloyds mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Lloyds mortgage from the register. Lloyds, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where Lloyds has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Lloyds has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Lloyds mortgage has been paid off.

It has been 2 months following my purchase conveyancing in Duxford concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 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 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.
