Why would one use a Mersea Island conveyancing practice when online alternatives are less expensive?
Its a good idea to get 2 or 3 like-for-like quotes for conveyancing costs in Mersea Island and you should seek an affordable estimate but don’t be focused with sourcing the lowest priced Mersea Island conveyancer.

2 months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Mersea Island completed. 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 premises 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 am purchasing a new build house in Mersea Island with a mortgage from Godiva Mortgages Ltd. The builders would not move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The estate agent told me not to tell my solicitor about the extras as it could put at risk my loan with Godiva Mortgages Ltd. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Mersea Island is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Mersea Island are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Mersea Island you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Mersea Island may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
My husband and I are first time buyers - agreed a price, but the estate agent informed us that the seller will only move forward if we use their recommended conveyancers as they need a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Mersea Island
It is improbable the sellers are behind this. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine buyer is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the vendors direct and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to appoint your preferred Mersea Island conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or hit his conveyancing targets demanded by senior management.
