three months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Mayfair took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 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 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.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Mayfair with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The estate agent told me not disclose to my solicitor about this deal as it could affect my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
Should I be concerned about estate agents that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use a web based conveyancing firm rather than a High Street Mayfair conveyancing company?
As is the case with many service providers, often input from family and friends can be most helpful. Nevertheless there are numerous players in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, financial adviser and mortgage companies may suggest conveyancers to choose. Sometimes the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but sometimes there behind the scenes financial incentive behind the endorsement. You are at liberty to appoint your own conveyancer. However, bear in mind that most mortgage providers specify a panel list of conveyancers you must use for the lender aspect of your home move.
