My mortgage broker requires my Ottery St Mary solicitor’s panel reference for the HSBC conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I discover this. I have called my local Ottery St Mary office but they have not responded to me.
You are best placed to get this information from your Ottery St Mary conveyancer . Most Ottery St Mary law firms will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each mortgage company.
It has been 4 months following my purchase conveyancing in Ottery St Mary took place. 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 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.
How does conveyancing in Ottery St Mary differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Ottery St Mary come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because developers in Ottery St Mary typically purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Ottery St Mary or who has acted in the same development.
