If you had a top tip for selecting a conveyancing solicitor in Badminton what would it be?
We would encourage you not to base your choice on the lowest Badminton conveyancing quote. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Coventry BS. I assume I don't need a Badminton solicitor on the Coventry BS panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Coventry BS mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Coventry BS mortgage from the register. Coventry BS, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Coventry BS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Coventry BS has instructed the Land Registry to do so
What can a local search tell me about the property I am purchasing in Badminton?
Badminton conveyancing often starts with the submitting local authority searches directly from your local Authority or via a personal search organisations such as Xpress Legal The local search plays an important role in many a Badminton conveyancing purchase; as long as you don’t want any nasty once you have moved into your property.

It has been 3 months since my purchase conveyancing in Badminton took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 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.
Should I go with a Badminton conveyancing lawyer who is local to the property I am hoping to buy? I have an old university friend who can deal with the legal formalities but his firm is located 200miles away.
The benefit of a local Badminton conveyancing practice is that you can drop in to execute documents, present your identification documents and apply pressure on them if necessary. They will also have local knowledge which is a plus. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If if people you trust instructed your friend and they were happy that must trump using an unfamiliar Badminton conveyancing lawyer just because they are local.
