I require conveyancing for a flat in a relatively new development (five years old) in Woldingham. The vast majority the properties are already occupied. Do I need carry out the neighbourhood searches as part of conveyancing in Woldingham?
You would be putting yourself at risk in refusing to carrying out Woldingham conveyancing searches. Without searches you have no clarity over flooding, environmental etc which may mean you walk away due to potential problems down the line. If you are buying mortgage free there is no legal requirement to have them, but we would strongly advise in no uncertain terms that your solicitor conducts them. Where accelerating the process and price are primary concerns you should discuss with your solicitor about the options such as lack of search insurance available to you
2 months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Woldingham 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 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 am purchasing a new build house in Woldingham with a mortgage from Barclays . The developers would not move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative told me not reveal to my solicitor about this deal as it could put at risk my mortgage with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I need to appoint a conveyancing solicitor for purchase conveyancing in Woldingham. I happened to stumble upon a site which seems to have the ideal offering If there is a chance to get all this stuff completed via web that would be ideal. Should I be concerned? What should out be looking out for?
As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
I have just started marketing my ground floor flat in Woldingham. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have just had a quarterly service charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
It best that you discharge the maintenance contribution as normal as all rents and maintenance charges should be allotted on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
