Having been told to check out your service we were about to appoint conveyancing solicitor in Lower Morden listed on your site but have come across alternative costs illustrations on the internet seem cheaper – why is this?
You can find hundreds of conveyancing companies marketing at first sight what seems to be cut price. We would encourage you to think twice about how important this transaction is to you that want to take 'cheap' risks in relation to the standard of the conveyancing. Some hide fees deep into the terms and conditions. The law firms that we list for conveyancing in Lower Morden will notbehave this way.
Please explain the implications if my solicitor is removed from the Bank of Ireland Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Lower Morden?
First, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.
I have been told that property searches are the main reason for delay in Lower Morden conveyancing transactions. Is this right?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released determinations of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the most frequent causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Local searches are not likely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Lower Morden.
3 months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Lower Morden took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 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.
