At long last a mortgage offer from NatWest for the refinancing of my 3 bedroom maisonette is due any day now. Can you suggest a cheap conveyancing solicitor in Forest of Dean?
You are on the wrong site if you are seeking the lowest fares for conveyancing solicitors in Forest of Dean. Our intention is to offer excellent value conveyancing but our intention is not to advertise as being the cheapest. Do not be swayed by brokers enticing you with £99 conveyancing in Forest of Dean. Optimistically, in going for cheap conveyancing, you will get your money’s worth and at worst it will result in you invoiced for extras and still not get the service required.
It has been 2 months following my purchase conveyancing in Forest of Dean completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £215,000. 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 asset 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.

What makes a Forest of Dean lease problematic?
Leasehold conveyancing in Forest of Dean is not unique. All leases are individual and drafting errors can sometimes mean that certain sections are missing. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:
-
A duty to insure the building Clauses dealing with recovering service charges for expenditure on the building or common parts.
A defective lease will likely cause problems when trying to sell a property as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. Lloyds TSB Bank, Chelsea Building Society, and Godiva Mortgages Ltd all have very detailed conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease is defective they may refuse to provide security, forcing the buyer to withdraw.
