I opted for a high street firm for our conveyancing in Great Ayton yesterday. Going through the Terms and Conditions I noteI am responsible for costs even if the movefalls through. Should I ditch them and select an internet firm advertising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Great Ayton?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the fee levels will generally be higher to cover those cases that do not proceed. Dont forget that these deals rarely cover expenses e.g. Great Ayton conveyancing search fees.
It has been 3 months since my purchase conveyancing in Great Ayton concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 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 property 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.
How does conveyancing in Great Ayton differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Great Ayton contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because developers in Great Ayton tend to purchase the land, 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 property lawyers 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 Great Ayton or who has acted in the same development.

Am I better off to use a Great Ayton conveyancing lawyer who is local to the property I am hoping to buy? An old friend can deal with the legal work but her office is a couple of hundredkilometers drive away.
The primary upside of using a local Great Ayton conveyancing practice is that you can drop in to sign documents, present your identification documents and pester them if necessary. Having local Great Ayton know how is a plus. However it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who used your friend and they were content that should outweigh using an unknown Great Ayton conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being based in the area.
I have just appointed agents to market my ground floor flat in Great Ayton. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have just received a yearly service charge invoice – Do I pay up?
It best that you pay the invoice as you normally would given that all rents and service charges will be allotted on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
