Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Beckenham

Me and my partner are due to complete buying a house in Beckenham but as a result of damage from a small fire at the property I have was able negotiate reparation from the current proprietors of six thousand pounds in the form of a reduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of a side agreement however Coventry BS will not permit this. Should they have been informed?

The lawyer that is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel is duty bound to advise Coventry BS of any amendments to the sale price. If you were to refuse your lawyer to report the price change to Coventry BS then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Coventry BS and you would have to appoint a new conveyancer for your conveyancing in Beckenham.

I require expedited conveyancing in Beckenham as I have a deadline to sign on the dotted line in less than 3 weeks. Fortunately I do not need a mortgage. Is it possible to avoid the conveyancing searches to save fees and time?

If.Given you are not taking a mortgage you have the choice not to do searches although no solicitor would recommend that you don't.

3 months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Beckenham completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £160,000. 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.

I opted to have a survey done on a house in Beckenham in advance of appointing lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. My surveyor has said that some banks tend refuse to grant a loan on such a property.
