My partner’s step-father is a property lawyer. I am hopeful that I'll be able to get mate’s pricing for conveyancing, but if not, what level of costs would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in Haxby?
You should contrast pricing. Do use our search tool on this site. Whilst fees do contrast greatly but service levels do differ between conveyancers as is true with most professions.
We are planning on selling our property in Haxby and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. A local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed a nationwide conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Haxby. We have lived in Haxby for many years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to obtain clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)
It has been 3 months following my purchase conveyancing in Haxby completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £160,000. 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.
