My wife and I are about to complete on the purchase of a property in Llanybydder but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate reparation from the seller of £3k by way of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of amending the contract but Santander are not allowing this. Should they have been involved?
Any solicitor being on a Santander approved list is required to disclose to Santander of any changes to the purchase price. If you prohibit your property lawyer to report the reduction to Santander then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Santander and you would have to appoint a new property lawyer for your conveyancing in Llanybydder.

four months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Llanybydder took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 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 Llanybydder differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Llanybydder contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because builders in Llanybydder tend to 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 Llanybydder or who has acted in the same development.
