My partner’s step-father is a property lawyer. I suspect that I can be offered preferential fee for conveyancing, However if that does not come through, what kind of figure should I be paying for conveyancing in Croydon?
It’s prudent to request multiple conveyancing estimates. Do use our comparison tool on this page. You will notice that charges do contrast greatly but service levels do differ between conveyancers as is true with most professions.
Our lawyer has identified a defect with the lease for the flat we are buying in Croydon. The other side have put forward title insurance as a workaround. We are happy with insurance and will pay for it. Our conveyancing practitioner has advised that he must be satisfied that the bank is content with this solution. Are we the client or is the lender?
Even though you have a mortgage offer from the mortgage company does not mean to say that the property will meet their provisions for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions. You and the bank are the client. The appropriate lender requirements must be adhered to.
It has been four months since my purchase conveyancing in Croydon concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 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 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.
Should I be suspicious that brokers that I am dealing with are suggesting a nationwide conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street Croydon conveyancing company?
As with lots of service providers, often suggestions from family and friends can be very helpful. Nevertheless there are numerous players in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, mortgage brokers and mortgage companies might all suggest solicitors to use. On occasion the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but sometimes there behind the scenes commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You are free to choose your own lawyer. However, bear in mind that many lenders have an approved list of lawyers you must use for the lender related work in your home move.
