Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Consett

I am nearing an exchange on a flat in Consett and my parents have transferred the 10% deposit to my property lawyer. I am now advised that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my property lawyer needs to disclose this to my mortgage company. Apparently, in also acting for the mortgage company he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I informed the lender about my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for this now to hold matters up?

The solicitor is duty bound to check with mortgage company to ensure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only reveal this to your mortgage company if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

2 months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Consett took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?

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.

We are a couple of weeks into a leasehold purchase having been directed to a firm by the high street agent to do our conveyancing in Consett. I am am extremely dissatisfied with the level of service. Could you help me find new solicitors?
