Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be retained by the mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the lawyers who oversaw the purchase. Secondly in most cases the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Underwood involves registered property but in the rare situation where your home is unregistered it is more problematic but is resolvable.

Various online forums that I have visited warn that are the number one cause of delay in Underwood conveyancing transactions. Is this right?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released findings of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the most frequent causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are unlikely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Underwood.

2 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Underwood concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website 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 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.

We are happy with insurance and will cover the costs. Our solicitor says that as he is on the lender conveyancing panel he must check that the lender is happy with this solution.

The UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions require your lawyer to disclose issues such as defects will the lease so that the bank can be afforded the opportunity to check with their valuer as to the extent that the value of the property is affected .
