It has been 3 months since my purchase conveyancing in Beaumaris took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 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 premises 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 Beaumaris differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Beaumaris approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because builders in Beaumaris tend to acquire the site, 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 used to new build conveyancing in Beaumaris or who has acted in the same development.

Frank (my husband) and I may need to rent out our Beaumaris ground floor flat temporarily due to a new job. We used a Beaumaris conveyancing firm in 2001 but they have closed and we did not think at the time seek any guidance as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
Notwithstanding that your previous Beaumaris conveyancing solicitor is not around you can review your lease to check if you are permitted to let out the premises. The rule is that if the deeds are non-specific, subletting is permitted.

This means that you cannot sublet without first obtaining consent. The consent should not be unreasonably refused ore delayed. If the lease does not allow you to sublet you will need to ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
