Completed the sale of my flat in Swanland last October but the buyer keeps Skype messaging daily to moan that her solicitor needs to hear from mine. What should have happened following completion?
Post completion of your disposal your solicitor should send the transfer deeds and all additional paperwork to the purchaser's solicitors. Where relevant, your lawyer must also evidence that the home loan has been discharged to the buyers solicitors. There is unlikely to be post completion requirements specific conveyancing in Swanland.
My solicitor has informed me that defective lease insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Swanland?
The right level of defective lease indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between Barclays and Coventry Building Society. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to borrowers take out such insurances.
I can not work out if my bank requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Swanland building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they will lend. My Swanland conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called to say that they refuse to lend based on their published requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
Provided that the property lawyer is on the lender panel, they must follow the CML Handbook provisions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
My offer was accepted on a house in Swanland on 30/12/2025, valuation was booked 4 days later, received a clean bill of health. Property lawyer instructed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Nottingham and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Nottingham to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

Many commercial conveyancing solicitors in Swanland will carry out a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers invest in sourcing accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Swanland.

These searches are not conducted for residential conveyancing in Swanland.
3 months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Swanland took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 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.
