An auction property will ordinarily have a corresponding auction pack. This will likely include most,if not all of the paperwork that your conveyancer will need. In the case of leasehold property the legal papers should include a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing paperwork pertinent to leasehold premises. You need to hand this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor as soon as possible. Do make sure that you have funds in order to complete the transaction on the set completion date.

2 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Godshill took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 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 residence 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.

My husband and I are novice buyers - agreed a price, but the estate agent told us that the vendor will only move forward if we instruct their recommended conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local solicitor used to conveyancing in Godshill

It is improbable the vendors are driving this. Should the seller require ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and explain that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to use your preferred Godshill conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthe ones that will earn their estate agent a commission or hit his conveyancing thresholds set by HQ.
