We are soon to exchange buying a house in Upminster Bridge but as a result of wreckage from some water damage at the property I have managed to agree recompense from the vendor of six thousand pounds by way of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process but Aldermore will not agree to this. Why were they involved?
Any conveyancer being on the Aldermore approved list is duty bound to inform Aldermore of any changes to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your lawyer to notify the price change to Aldermore then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Aldermore and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Upminster Bridge.
At what point does exchange of contracts occur in sale conveyancing in Upminster Bridge and do I need to attend the lawyers branch?
If you are round the corner to our conveyancing solicitors in Upminster Bridge you are welcome to attend to sign contracts. However, the lender approved solicitors we work with offer a countrywide conveyancing service and give as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The executing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract simply enables the solicitor to address the formalities when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where a long "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Upminster Bridge)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
It has been 2 months since my purchase conveyancing in Upminster Bridge concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website 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.
