Finally the sale completed on my house in Kingsbury last February but the buyer keeps whats apping me to say her lawyer needs to hear from mysolicitor. What should have happened now that I have sold?
Post completion of your disposal your lawyer is obliged to deliver the transfer deeds and all additional paperwork to the purchaser's lawyers. If applicable, your conveyancer must also send confirmation that the home loan has been redeemed to the purchasers solicitors. There are no post completion procedures just for conveyancing in Kingsbury.
Various online forums that I have frequented warn that are the main reason for hinderance in Kingsbury conveyancing transactions. Is that correct?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released findings of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the common causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Searches are unlikely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Kingsbury.
It has been three months following my purchase conveyancing in Kingsbury took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £170,000. 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.
How does conveyancing in Kingsbury differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Kingsbury approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because builders in Kingsbury tend to buy 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 property lawyers 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 used to new build conveyancing in Kingsbury or who has acted in the same development.

What is the difference between surveying and conveyancing in Kingsbury?
Conveyancing - in Kingsbury or elsewhere - is the process of legally transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It involves the investigation of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you’re buying and will help you discover the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you a powerful reason for negotiating the purchase price down or asking the vendor to fix the defects prior to you complete your move.
