You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Great Ayton and elsewhere in England and Wales is often a confrontational process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of opportunity for confrontation between you and other parties involved in the transaction. For example, the vendor, selling agent and on occasion your mortgage company. Selecting a law firm for your conveyancing in Great Ayton should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE party in the transaction whose interest is to act in your best interests and to protect you.

Sometimes a third party with a vested interest will try and convince you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the selling agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your solicitor is slow. Or your financial adviser may tell you to do take action that is contrary to your lawyers guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.

3 months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Great Ayton completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £215,000. 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 am looking for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Great Ayton I like with amenity areas and station nearby, however it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Great Ayton in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?

Should you require a home loan that many years will be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
