I am need of leasehold conveyancing for a flat in a relatively new development (five years built) in Wootton Bridge. 95% of the appartments have already been occupied. Is it strictly necessary to order neighbourhood searches for my conveyancing in Wootton Bridge?
If you are buying a property with the assistance of a loan, your bank will require some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Wootton Bridge conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. No doubt your conveyancer, will 'advise', perhaps in the strongest possible terms, that you should have the searches done, but he or she is duty bound in this regard. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you demand that your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or you may need to find a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Wootton Bridge.
It has been three months since my purchase conveyancing in Wootton Bridge took place. I have checked the Land Registry site 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.
