As a novice what is the most important piece of guidance you can impart concerning purchase conveyancing in Darwen?

Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Darwen and elsewhere in England and Wales is an adversarial process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of room for conflict between you and others involved in the transaction. For instance, the seller, selling agent and on occasion your bank. Selecting a lawyer for your conveyancing in Darwen is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the process whose responsibility is to act in your best interests and to protect you.

There is a definite ongoing adversarial element to conveyancing- someone must be at fault for the process taking so long. We recommend that you should always trust your solicitor above all other players when it comes to the legal assignment of property.

I have been told that property searches are the main reason for hinderance in Darwen conveyancing transactions. Is this right?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released findings of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the common causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Searches are unlikely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in Darwen.

four months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Darwen took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 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 residence 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.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Darwen with a loan from Lloyds TSB Bank. The developers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The property agent advised me not inform my solicitor about this deal as it could jeopardize my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
