I just bought a flat at auction in Wolsingham. Conveyancing is necessary. What happens now?
Having legally bound yourself to purchase you must find a conveyancing practitioner as a matter of urgency as you now have a tight a drop dead date to complete the property. Every auction property will ordinarily have a bespoke legal set of papers. This will include the copy title deeds, local authority and drainage searches.

I currently have a mortgage with Lloyds for my property in Wolsingham. Conveyancing has been completed 12 months ago. If I am intending to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Lloyds?
Your original mortgage agreement with Lloyds will provide that you need their approval prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Lloyds’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Lloyds directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Lloyds conveyancing panel solicitor.

We are downsizing from our home in Wolsingham and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Wolsingham conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used an internet conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Wolsingham. We have lived in Wolsingham for six years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You must 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 health insurance to cover that same illness)
3 months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Wolsingham concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site 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 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.
