2 months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Newport took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 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 asset 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.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Newport is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Newport are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Newport you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Newport 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 property.
Am I better off to instruct a Newport conveyancing lawyer who is local to the property I am purchasing? We have a good friend who can conduct the legal formalities but her office is over three hundred kilometers drive away.
The benefit of a high street Newport conveyancing firm is that you can pop in to execute paperwork, hand in your identification documents and pester them if necessary. Having local Newport know how is a plus. However it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who used your friend and in the main were happy that must outweigh using an unknown Newport conveyancing solicitor solely due to them being Newport based.
