4 months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Melksham took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 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 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.

Set out below is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Melksham

    Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.

Am I right to be wary that estate agents that I am dealing with are recommending an online conveyancing firm rather than a High Street Melksham conveyancing firm?

As is the case with lots of professional services, often recommendations from connections can be extremely useful or valuable. Yet there are lots of people with a keen interest in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, financial adviser and banks might all recommend lawyers to choose. Sometimes the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but sometimes there might be a financial incentive behind the endorsement. You have the right to appoint your preferred lawyer. However, bear in mind that many lenders specify a panel list of lawyers you must use for the lender aspect of your transaction.
