As someone not used to conveyancing in Coulsdon what is your top tip you can impart for the home moving process in Coulsdon
Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Coulsdon or throughout England and Wales is often a confrontational experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of opportunity for friction between you and other parties involved in the ownership transfer. E.g., the vendor, property agent and even potentially the bank. Choosing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Coulsdon should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE party in the process whose interest is to act in your legal interests and to protect you.
Sometimes a third party with a vested interest will attempt to sway you that you should follow their advice. For instance, the property agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your lawyer is wrong. Or your mortgage broker may advise you to do take action that is contrary to your conveyancers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.
It has been 4 months since my purchase conveyancing in Coulsdon concluded. 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 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 Coulsdon differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Coulsdon contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because house builders in Coulsdon typically buy 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 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Coulsdon or who has acted in the same development.
