As someone with no idea as to the Penge conveyancing process what is the number one tip you can give me for the ownership transfer in Penge
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Penge and elsewhere in England and Wales is an adversarial process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of opportunity for friction between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. E.g., the seller, estate agent and even potentially the mortgage company. Choosing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Penge should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE person in the legal process whose role it is to look after your best interests and to keep you safe.
Every so often a potential adversary may try and sway you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For example, the property agent may claim to be assisting by suggesting your lawyer is dragging his heels. Or your financial adviser may tell you to do something that is contrary to your solicitors guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.
My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Penge. I need to find out if they are on the Virgin Money approved list of lawyers. Could you or the lender confirm if they are on the panel?
You should phone your lawyer and ask them whether they are on the lender panel. Otherwise please call Virgin Money who may be able to assist.
Should commercial conveyancing searches reveal planned roadworks that may impact a commercial estate in Penge?
Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Penge will conduct a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers invest in researching accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Penge. The report sets out definitive data on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Penge.
For each commercial conveyancing transaction in Penge it is crucial to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. The absence of identifying developments where adoption procedures have not been dealt with adequately may cause delays to Penge commercial conveyancing transactions as well as present a risk to future intentions for the site. These searches are not conducted for residential conveyancing in Penge.
2 months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Penge took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £180,000. 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.
