It has been 4 months since my purchase conveyancing in Rothwell took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 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 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 Rothwell with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent told me not inform my conveyancer about the deal as it will jeopardize my mortgage with Yorkshire Building Society. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.

I have just started marketing my basement apartment in Rothwell. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have recently had a quarterly service charge demand – what should I do?

It best that you discharge the maintenance contribution as you normally would given that all rents and service charges will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.

Rothwell Conveyancing for Leasehold Flats - Sample of Queries before Purchasing

    Is there a share of the freehold? Please note that where the lease has less than 80 years it will affect the value of the apartment. Check with your mortgage company that they are content with the length of the lease. A short lease means that you will almost definitely require a lease extension sooner rather than later and you need to have some idea of what this will be. Remember, in most cases you will need to own the property for a couple of years before you are entitled to extend the lease. What restrictions exist in the Rothwell Lease?

I have just placed an offer on a leasehold flat in Rothwell and the broker that we are using recommended his conveyancer. She quoted £1000 excluding VAT and disbursements. Does this sound reasonable?

You should not rely on one estimate. One should seek like-for-like quotes for your conveyancing in Rothwell. Then choose one that you trust and crucially, is on the approved list of the lender that you are sourcing your mortgage from.
