It would be unwise to be swayed by the cheapest West Haddon conveyancing quote. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need.

Now that you are to all intents and purposes signed on the dotted line you now have to find a conveyancing lawyer as a matter of urgency as you will have a tight a drop dead date to complete the deal. An auction property will ordinarily have a corresponding legal set of papers. This will include evidence of title and search results. If you have purchased leasehold premises the conveyancing papers should contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing paperwork relating to a leasehold property. You must give this to the lawyer working for you ASAP. You also need to ensure that you have funds in order to complete on the date specified in the contract.

I had a mortgage agreed in principle with Aldermore. West Haddon conveyancing solicitors were selected. How long does it take for Aldermore to issue the offer to the conveyancing practitioner?

There is no definitive answer here. Have Aldermore completed the survey? Have you informed Aldermore as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

4 months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in West Haddon took place. 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 asset 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 leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one near me in West Haddon I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in West Haddon suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?

If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises 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 current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.

Why do West Haddon conveyancing costs are higher for leasehold and freehold properties?

When acquiring a leasehold property there is more work involved purely due to the fact that usually there are further parties involved in the form of the freeholder and/or Management Agents. As part of a lawyers enquiries they will check that all ground rent and service charges are paid up to date amongst other general leasehold matters. For this reason, the Sellers lawyers usually have to refer to the freeholder or Managing Agent for their replies to our questions. This may be time consuming and beyond the lawyers control
