I am in the throes of changing my current homeowner home loan to a Buy to Let Lloyds TSB Bank mortgage. I have been informed by my broker that I require a conveyancer as part of the process. I got in contact with my former New Mills conveyancing firm who who did the conveyancing when I previously purchased the premises. The fee calculation sent of £550 has taken me by surprise as I am not require purchase conveyancing - it’s simply a bog-standard refinance.

We are intent on selling our property in New Mills and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A high street New Mills conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed a nationwide conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in New Mills. Having lived in New Mills for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to get confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)
five months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in New Mills completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £160,000. 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 New Mills differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in New Mills come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because new home sellers in New Mills typically buy the land, 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 property lawyers 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 New Mills or who has acted in the same development.
