My partner’s mother is a solicitor. I hope that I will be offered mate’s pricing for conveyancing, but if not, what level of costs should I be paying for conveyancing in Steyning?
Do contrast pricing. Do use our comparison tool on this site. The charges will contrast greatly but service levels do are distinct between law firms as is the case with most professions.
My wife and I are soon to exchange on the purchase of a property in Steyning but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate reparation from the current proprietors in the sum of £3k in the form of a deduction in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of amending the contract but Bank of Ireland will not agree to this. Why were they notified?
Any conveyancing practitioner that is on a Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel is obliged to inform Bank of Ireland of any changes to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your solicitor to report the reduction to Bank of Ireland then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Bank of Ireland and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Steyning.
It has been 2 months following my purchase conveyancing in Steyning concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website 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.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one near me in Steyning I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Steyning in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.
My cousin has recommend that I instruct his lawyers for conveyancing in Steyning. Do I take his recommendation?
No doubt the best way to choose a conveyancing lawyer is to get guidance from friends or relatives who have actually experience in using the conveyancer you're are thinking of instructing.
Looking forward to complete next month on a garden flat in Steyning. Conveyancing lawyers inform me that they report fully within the next couple of days. Are there areas in the report that I should be focusing on?
