It has been 3 months since my purchase conveyancing in Woodbridge took place. 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 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.

How does conveyancing in Woodbridge differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Woodbridge approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Woodbridge tend to buy 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 used to new build conveyancing in Woodbridge or who has acted in the same development.

I decided to have a survey completed on a property in Woodbridge prior to instructing solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the property. Our surveyor advised that some banks tend refuse to grant a mortgage on this type of home.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Santander has different requirements from Halifax. If you call us we can investigate further via the appropriate bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Woodbridge. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Woodbridge to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.

As co-executor for the estate of my grandfather I am selling a property in Newport but reside in Woodbridge. My conveyancer (approximately 300 kilometers from meneeds me to execute a stat dec before completion. Could you suggest a conveyancing practitioner in Woodbridge who can witness this legal document for me?

strictly speaking you are not likely to need to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally any notary public or qualified solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are based in Woodbridge

My partner and I have had DIP from Leeds Building Society who said we could borrow up to £400k. At what point do we need to instruct a practitioner for conveyancing? Woodbridge is where we plan to move to.

You can appoint a conveyancer now so that the property lawyer can open the ledger so they can conduct their ID checks etc. As and when you wish them to commence work you will be asked for a deposit normally about £225. That should normally be after you have the loan offer from the lender and valuation results, but if you want to expedite matters you can get going sooner even though you may be risking some expense.
