It has been 2 months following my purchase conveyancing in Pontypool took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £170,000. 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 premises 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 Pontypool differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Pontypool contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because builders in Pontypool tend to purchase the site, 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Pontypool or who has acted in the same development.

How easy is it to change a solicitor as I need to find a Pontypool based conveyancer who is on the bank conveyancing panel. Is it advisable to appoint a new law firm?
If you haven't yet instructed a conveyancer to start work and have just received an estimate as to costs, you're perfectly free to choose a different solicitor to carry out your work for you. The best way is to get recommendations from friends or family who have actually used the solicitor or conveyancer in Pontypool that you're thinking of instructing.
