As I am unsure how the conveyancing bit works what is the most important piece of guidance you can impart concerning purchase conveyancing in West Wittering?
Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in West Wittering and elsewhere in England and Wales is often a confrontational experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of room for conflict between you and others involved in the transaction. For instance, the vendor, property agent and sometimes your bank. Appointing a law firm for your conveyancing in West Wittering is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE person in the transaction whose interest is to protect your legal interests and to keep you safe.
There is a distinct ongoing adversarial element to conveyancing- someone has to be blamed for the process being so protracted. We recommend that you should always trust your lawyer ahead of the other parties in the conveyancing process.
Various online forums that I have frequented warn that are the number one cause of obstruction in West Wittering house deals. Is this right?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released findings of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the top 10 causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Searches are unlikely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in West Wittering.
five months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in West Wittering concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £160,000. 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.
