It has been five months following my purchase conveyancing in Hadfield concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site 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 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.
How does conveyancing in Hadfield differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Hadfield contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because builders in Hadfield typically acquire 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Hadfield or who has acted in the same development.

The conveyancing solicitor in Hadfield who acted for me is not around. Do I pay?
The first thing you should do is make enquiries of HMLR to be sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is indeed the new freeholder. It is not necessary to incur the fees of a Hadfield conveyancing firm to do this as it can be done on-line for a few pound. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the legitimate freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.

It is important to be aware whether fixing the lift or some other significant cost is due in the foreseeable future that will be shared between the tenants and could well dramatically increase the the service fees or require a specific invoice. You should be aware that where the lease has no more than eighty years it will impact the value of the apartment. Check with your lender that they are willing to go ahead with the loan given the lease term.
