Is it necessary during the course of the conveyancing process to visit the offices of the solicitor to execute the mortgage deed? If so, I will instruct a firm who offer conveyancing in Prescot so that I can pop in to their offices when needed.

I am selling our property in Prescot and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Prescot lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers used a factory type conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Prescot. Having lived in Prescot for three years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to obtain clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)
It has been four months since my purchase conveyancing in Prescot concluded. 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 residence 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'm buying my first flat in Prescot with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The estate agent suggested that I not inform my conveyancer about the extras as it will put at risk my mortgage with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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.
My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the property agent has warned us that the owners will only proceed if we use their preferred solicitors as they want a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local conveyancer who is familiar with conveyancing in Prescot
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this request. If they require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine buyer is going to damage their objectives. Speak to the owners direct and make the point that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to use your own,trusted Prescot conveyancing firm - as opposed tothe ones that will earn their estate agent a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing targets pre-set by HQ.
