Just been in touch with my conveyancing solicitor in Costessey who acted for me 18 months ago requesting a conveyancing quote based on the same type of house move (a leasehold property and a freehold property) of almost identical values with a home loan from Santander. It looks as though am now being charged twice the amount. Stick with what I know or do I seek out a cheaper online property lawyer?
The quote is fractionally on the high side. If you are willing to expend time scrutinising costs you may be able to get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by as much as a hundred pounds. On the other hand, assuming were content with the legal work the firm provided you maycome to regret choosing an an unknown solicitor. Remember to enquire that the solicitor can also act for Santander.

Last April we completed a house move in Costessey. We have noticed several problems with the house which we believe were omitted in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? Can you clarify the type of searches that needed to have been ordered as part of conveyancing in Costessey?
It is not clear from the question as to the nature of the problems and if they are specific to conveyancing in Costessey. Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken during the legal transfer of property are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a property owner fills in a document called a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information proves to be inaccurate, then you may have a claim against the vendor for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Costessey.

It has been 4 months since my purchase conveyancing in Costessey took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £170,000. 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.
