It has been five months since my purchase conveyancing in Haydock concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 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 Haydock differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Haydock come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because builders in Haydock typically buy 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 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 Haydock or who has acted in the same development.
I have been advised by a few property agents in Haydock to choose a conveyancer on your site. Is there a financial advantage for Estate Agents to offer your services over and above a competitor’s?
We don’t give any referral fee for sending work in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult a fee because a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
My cousin is buying a ground floor flat in Haydock. He was given a quote by the conveyancer connected to the selling agents totaling £1156 . It was 9 years ago I sold and purchased a home and the bill was £440. Have costs really increased to that extent?
What does the conveyancing estimate include? Is it just for the legal fees, or what you will be paying in total (for example Haydock searches, land registry fees, etc)
