Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Frampton Cotterell

It is is a decade since I acquired my house in Frampton Cotterell. Conveyancing lawyers have just been appointed on the sale but I can't locate my title deeds. Is this a problem?

Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be with your mortgage company or they may still be with the lawyers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly in most cases the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers procuring up to date copy of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Frampton Cotterell relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your home is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Frampton Cotterell off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Aldermore. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Aldermore, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.

About to purchase flat in Frampton Cotterell. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Frampton Cotterell lawyer is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.

Contact Lloyds or your financial adviser and finalise any outstanding documentation. Lloyds will sellect a valuer who will get in touch with the estate agent or owners to book a slot for the valuation to happen. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes on average a fortnight for the mortgage offer to be issued. Lloyds will issue the offer to you and your conveyancing practitioners. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Frampton Cotterell.

It has been 4 months following my purchase conveyancing in Frampton Cotterell took place. 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 asset 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.
