As someone unfamiliar with conveyancing in Llanharan what’s your top tip you can impart concerning the ownership transfer in Llanharan

Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Llanharan or throughout Rhondda Cynon Taff is often a confrontational experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of opportunity for conflict between you and other parties involved in the legal transfer of property. For example, the seller, property agent and even potentially a lender. Selecting a solicitor for your conveyancing in Llanharan is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the transaction whose responsibility is to act in your legal interests and to keep you safe.

Every so often a third party with a vested interest will try and sway you that it is in your interests to do things their way. As an example, the selling agent may claim to be helping by claiming that your conveyancer is slow. Or your financial adviser may tell you to do take action that is against your solicitors advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.

It has been four months since my purchase conveyancing in Llanharan completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £170,000. 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 residence 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 Llanharan differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Llanharan come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because builders in Llanharan tend to buy 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 used to new build conveyancing in Llanharan or who has acted in the same development.
