IfI was to acquire a freehold propertyin Blakeney for cash and have no survey and no local authority searches how much should I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Blakeney?
The sole reduction in fees you would make on is the Blakeney conveyancing searches. A conveyancer is obliged to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, correspond with your sellers lawyer, stamp duty return, register the property etc. You might save a bit for them not needing to register a mortgage but it won't be meaningful.
It has been four months following my purchase conveyancing in Blakeney took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 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 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 Blakeney differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Blakeney contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because developers in Blakeney tend to acquire 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Blakeney or who has acted in the same development.

I have just appointed agents to market my basement apartment in Blakeney. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, however I have just received a quarterly service charge invoice – Do I pay up?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should discharge the service charge as you normally would because all rents and maintenance invoices should be allotted on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
