As a first time buyer what is the most important number one tip you can impart concerning purchase conveyancing in Wanborough?
Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Wanborough and elsewhere in Wiltshire is an adversarial experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of opportunity for friction between you and others involved in the transaction. E.g., the seller, estate agent and even potentially your lender. Selecting a lawyer for your conveyancing in Wanborough is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY party in the process whose role it is to protect your best interests and to protect you.
Sometimes a potential adversary will try and persuade you that you should follow their advice. For instance, the property agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your solicitor is dragging his heels. Or your financial adviser may try to convince you to do take action that is against your lawyers advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.

I have paid off my mortgage with Leeds Building Society. I assume I don't need a Wanborough conveyancer on the Leeds Building Society panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Leeds Building Society mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Leeds Building Society mortgage from the register. Leeds Building Society, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Leeds Building Society has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Leeds Building Society has instructed the Land Registry to do so
five months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Wanborough completed. 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 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 am looking for a flat up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Wanborough I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Wanborough suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass 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 consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
I was pointed in your direction by numerous selling agents in Wanborough to select a property lawyer on your site. What’s the financial advantage for Estate Agents to promote your site rather than another?
We don’t offer any referral fee for pointing buyers and sellers in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission because members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
