Recently asked questions about conveyancing in New Cross

It is is a decade since I acquired my house in New Cross. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been retained on the sale but I am unable to locate the title deeds. Is this a problem?

You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be with your lender or they may be in the possession of the solicitor who acted in the purchase. Secondly in most cases the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in New Cross relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your home is not registered it is more tricky but is not insurmountable.

It has been five months following my purchase conveyancing in New Cross took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 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.

Law firms are listing on a daily basis and it is probably the case that your lawyer is on the mortgage company conveyancing lawyer and you should probably take them at their word.
