It is possible that they could have handled otherhomes in the same road. Therefore consider using a Atherstone conveyancing firm. In addition, double check that the lawyer is on the on the approved list for your mortgage company.

Almost all Atherstone conveyancing practices can not represent certain mortgage companies so do check as early as possible.

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.

If you need a home loan that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
