As someone clueless as to the Tewkesbury conveyancing process what’s the number one tip you can impart concerning the home moving process in Tewkesbury
Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Tewkesbury or throughout Gloucestershire is often a confrontational process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of opportunity for friction between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. For instance, the seller, selling agent and even potentially the bank. Selecting a law firm for your conveyancing in Tewkesbury is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the legal process whose role it is to act in your best interests and to keep you safe.
Sometimes a third party with a vested interest will try and persuade you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For example, the selling agent may claim to be helping by claiming that your conveyancer is dragging his heels. Or your financial adviser may try to convince you to do take action that is against your solicitors recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.
It has been five months following my purchase conveyancing in Tewkesbury concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 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 property 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.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and found one close by in Tewkesbury I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Tewkesbury suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.

Developers have suggested I use a property lawyer and I've sought a quote from them. It's almost £250 less expensive than my family Tewkesbury lawyer. Should I use them?
Builders normally have panels of conveyancers who expedite matters and who know the developer’s contract and conveyancing practitioner. Plenty of developers offer an incentive to choose their approved lawyer for this reason, any increased charges can be avoided and a builder will not suggest a conveyancing warehouse and run the risk of having the transaction stall when they need an exchange in 28 days. A counter-argument for not agreeing to use the suggested property lawyer is that they may prove reluctant to 'push' your interests at the risk of upsetting the developer. If you worry that this may be the case you should keep with your high street Tewkesbury conveyancer.
