We were going to get a AIP from Clydesdale this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Clydesdale recommend any South Harrow solicitors on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?

My partner and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in South Harrow and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. Any high street South Harrow conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using a web based conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in South Harrow.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You must 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 five months following my purchase conveyancing in South Harrow completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. 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've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. South Harrow is where the house is located. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in South Harrow are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside South Harrow you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in South Harrow 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.
