five months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Whimple took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 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 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 decided to have a survey done on a property in Whimple ahead of appointing lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. Our surveyor advised that some mortgage companies will refuse to issue a mortgage on this type of premises.

I was advised by a few property agents in Whimple to find a property lawyer on your site. What’s the financial advantage for Estate Agents to offer your site ahead of a competitor’s?
We refuse to give any commission for pointing buyers and sellers our way. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission as members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
We're novice buyers - agreed a price, but the agent informed us that the seller will only proceed if we instruct their preferred conveyancers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street solicitor who is accustomed to conveyancing in Whimple
It is highly unlikely the sellers are driving this. If they require ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine buyer is counter productive. Speak to the owners direct and make the point that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to use your own,trusted Whimple conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthe ones that will give their estate agent a referral fee or hit his conveyancing figures demanded by HQ.
