What is the first thing I need to know about purchase conveyancing in Oakwood?
Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Oakwood or throughout England and Wales is an adversarial experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of opportunity for confrontation between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. For example, the seller, estate agent and sometimes your mortgage company. Selecting a law firm for your conveyancing in Oakwood an important selection as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the transaction whose role it is to look after your best interests and to keep you safe.
Sometimes a third party with a vested interest may attempt to convince you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the estate agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your solicitor is slow. Or your financial adviser may try to convince you to do something that is contrary to your lawyers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Oakwood. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender RBS be concerned?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with RBS your lawyer must check the conveyancing instructions set out in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for RBS. The CML Handbook sets out minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to RBS where a lease does not meet these provisions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not restricted to Oakwood.
I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in March 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, HSBC are being pedantic. The Oakwood solicitor who is on the HSBC conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but HSBC are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do HSBC have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that HSBC have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why HSBC may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

three months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Oakwood concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 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.
