It is 10 years ago since I purchased my home in East Finchley. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been appointed on the sale but I can't locate the deeds. Is this a major issue?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be with the lender or they could be in the possession of the solicitor who oversaw the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in East Finchley relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it is more of a problem but is resolvable.
four months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in East Finchley completed. 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.
How does conveyancing in East Finchley differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in East Finchley contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because new home sellers in East Finchley tend to acquire 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 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 East Finchley or who has acted in the same development.
