4 months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Manningtree concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £215,000. 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 Manningtree differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Manningtree come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because developers in Manningtree tend to acquire 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Manningtree or who has acted in the same development.

Am I better off to appoint a Manningtree conveyancing lawyer in close proximity to the house I am buying? An old friend can perform the conveyancing however they are based over three hundred kilometers away.

The primary upside of using a high street Manningtree conveyancing firm is that you can pop in to execute paperwork, hand in your identification documents and pester them where appropriate. Having local Manningtree know how is a benefit. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who instructed your friend and on the whole were happy that must outweigh using an unknown Manningtree conveyancing solicitor just because they are Manningtree based.

Whilst your website is a good idea there are many lawyers listed near Manningtree being on the bank conveyancing panel. It would be a lot more helpful if you could recommend a specific firm on the bank approved panel?

Before you appoint your lawyer we advise you to speak to two or three of the the firms listed to gain comfort as to which one is right for you..
