It has been 2 months since my purchase conveyancing in Richmond concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 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 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.
How does conveyancing in Richmond differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Richmond approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Richmond typically acquire the real estate, 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 conveyancers 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 used to new build conveyancing in Richmond or who has acted in the same development.
I decided to have a survey completed on a property in Richmond ahead of retaining conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the house. Our surveyor has said that some banks tend refuse to issue a mortgage on a flying freehold home.
