If you had a top tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Prescot what would it be?

We would encourage you not to go for the cheapest Prescot conveyancing quote. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.

I am helping my sister sell her flat in Prescot. Does the conveyancer commission an EPC or do I organise this?

Following the demise of HIPs, EPC’s became a required element of moving house. An energy assessment should be commissioned in advance of the property being advertised. It is not a task that law firms ordinarily arrange. Where you are using a Prescot conveyancing lawyer they may be willing to arrange energy assessments given their contacts with reputable local providers

My uncle pointed out to me me that in buying a property in Prescot there may be a number of restrictions as to what one can do in terms of external changes to a property. Is this right?

There are anumerous of properties in Prescot which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to perform external alterations. Part of the conveyancing in Prescot should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.

A colleague suggested that if I am purchasing in Prescot I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?

A search of this type is sometimes quoted for as part of the standard Prescot conveyancing searches. It is not a small report of about 40 pages, listing and detailing significant information about Prescot around the property and the people living there. It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the Prescot Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average Property Price, Crime statistics, Local Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful information regarding Prescot.

It has been five months since my purchase conveyancing in Prescot 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 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.

I am buying my first flat in Prescot benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not budge the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep told me not disclose to my conveyancer about the extras as it may put at risk my mortgage with Platform Home Loans Ltd. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Can a conveyancer remove someone from the title of my home in Prescot ?
