It has been four months following my purchase conveyancing in Edgbaston completed. 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.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Edgbaston is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Edgbaston are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Edgbaston you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Edgbaston may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.

Me and my husband have just had an offer agreed on a flat and had meeting on Wednesday with Nationwide for the mortgage. They advised us that when it comes to choosing a property lawyer that if they are not on their approved list of conveyancing practitioners then we will incur an extra charge of £250+. This is because they would then have to select a property lawyer to act on their behalf in addition to the one we appoint for ourselves and we are liable for their fees. I have requested Nationwide to supply me with a list so I can obtain quotes only from their approved conveyancers but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. Is their an easier way of going about this?
You should ask Nationwide what their criteria for joining their panel is for a solicitor.Thereafter ask the conveyancing practitioner of your choice whether they meet the criteria and have they acted on mortgages for Nationwide before. If the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with Nationwide. Another option is to use our search facility and we should be able to locate a conveyancer in Edgbaston on the approved list for Nationwide.
