Can you explain why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Weston super Mare is more expensive?
The conveyancing charges for a leasehold premises in Weston super Mare is frequently greater as compared to a freehold property. This is due to the supplemental time required in dealing with the freeholder and managing agents to collate the evidence about whether the rent and maintenance fee have been discharged and whether there are any significant expenditure in the near future on repairs or maintenance of the block.
We're in Weston super Mare, First timers buying with a mortgage (lender is RBS , and our lawyer is on the RBS conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the RBS conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancing practitioner should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
My wife and I are intent on selling our house in Weston super Mare and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. A high street Weston super Mare lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using a nationwide conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Weston super Mare. Having lived in Weston super Mare for three years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)
It has been five months following my purchase conveyancing in Weston super Mare concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £170,000. 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.

I have been recommended by a number of estate agents in Weston super Mare to get a quote from a solicitor using your seach tool. What’s the financial upside for Estate Agents to offer your services over a competitor’s?
We don’t make any commission for sending work in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult a fee as a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
