It has been three months following my purchase conveyancing in Rugby completed. 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 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'm buying my first flat in Rugby with a loan from The Mortgage Works. The builders refused to budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The property agent told me not reveal to my conveyancer about the deal as it may adversely affect my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Rugby is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Rugby are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Rugby you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Rugby may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
Should I choose a Rugby conveyancing solicitor in close proximity to the house I am hoping to buy? We have a good friend who can carry out the conveyancing but they are based over three hundred miles drive away.
The primary upside of using a local Rugby conveyancing practice is that you can drop in to sign documents, hand in your identification documents and apply pressure on them where appropriate. Having local Rugby know how is a bonus. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If other friends have instructed your friend and they were impressed that must outweigh using an unknown Rugby conveyancing solicitor solely due to them being based in the area.
Much to my surprise my conveyancer in Rugby is asking me for ID documents saying that this is part of his legal duty as a solicitor on the lender Solicitor panel. Is this right?
Due to Money Laundering Regulations your conveyancing lawyer is duty bound to confirm positively your identification when entering into a business relationship with you. It is a criminal offence if your lawyer not do this. If you do not provide ID early in the transaction the solicitor must refuse to act for you. It’s unlikely a lawyer will turn you away if you come to the first meeting without relevant ID but you will have to produce it at some point so you might as well bring it with you to the initial meeting so the lawyer can tick the ID verification box and start sorting out the conveyancing straight away. If you are getting a mortgage, your lawyer also has to check ID documents to satisfy the mortgage company. This is not specific to conveyancing in Rugby
