All was ready to complete my purchase in Haslemere next Monday. I have now been asked to send a copy of my building insurance schedule by my solicitor as as she informs me that she is duty bound to validate that it is in order for the lender. What does the insurance need to cover?

I require fast conveyancing in Haslemere as I am faced with pressure to sign on the dotted line within 4 weeks. A home loan is not required. Is it possible to avoid the conveyancing searches to save money and time?

If.Given you are are a cash buyer you are at liberty not to do searches although no solicitor would suggest that you don't.

It has been 4 months since my purchase conveyancing in Haslemere took place. 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 Haslemere differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Haslemere contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because house builders in Haslemere usually 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 Haslemere or who has acted in the same development.

I need to retain a conveyancing solicitor for my conveyancing in Haslemere. I happened to discover a site which seems to have the ideal solution If there is a chance to get all formalities completed via web that would be ideal. Should I be wary? What are the potential pitfalls?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
