When can the exchange of contracts take place for sale conveyancing in Harlesden and am I required to attend the conveyancers branch?
If you are near to our conveyancing solicitors in Harlesden you are welcome to come in to sign contracts. However, the law practices we work with offer a nationwide conveyancing service and give as equally diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The signing of the contract is not the critical part. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the conveyancer to officially exchange when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a lengthy "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Harlesden)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
It has been three months since my purchase conveyancing in Harlesden completed. I have checked the Land Registry site 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 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 Harlesden differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Harlesden come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Harlesden usually acquire the site, 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 conveyancers 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 Harlesden or who has acted in the same development.
