Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Royton

Why is leasehold purchase conveyancing in Royton is more expensive?

The conveyancing charges for a leasehold property in Royton is inevitably greater as compared to a freehold transaction. This is due to the extra work required in liaising with the landlord and management company to collate the information concerning whether the rent and maintenance fee have been paid and whether there are any significant expenditure in the foreseeable future on repairs or maintenance of the building.

It has been five months since my purchase conveyancing in Royton completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £160,000. 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.

How does conveyancing in Royton differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Royton come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because new home sellers in Royton typically 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Royton or who has acted in the same development.
