Some advice if I may. My Didsbury conveyancer is assuring me that he is legally obliged toapply for Didsbury conveyancing searches asthe firm are on the Santanderconveyancing panel. Do I not have any options here?
Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. As you are obtaining a mortgage with a bank your solicitor has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your solicitor would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the CML Handbook specifications . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Didsbury conveyancing searches.

four months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Didsbury concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?

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 Didsbury differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Didsbury come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because builders in Didsbury typically buy the site, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 used to new build conveyancing in Didsbury or who has acted in the same development.
