Having invested time researching online forums for a conveyancing lawyer in Lakenham, most post that I should look for a CQS kitemarked solicitor. What is CQS?
Lakenham Conveyancing Quality Scheme practices have obtained certification under the Law Society's Scheme (CQS) The Law Society established CQS to establish evidence of quality standards in the home moving process. CQS enables consumers to recognise practices that provide a quality residential conveyancing. Lakenham is one of locations in England and Wales in which accredited firms have offices. The scheme requires solicitors to undergo a strict assessment, compulsory training, self-reporting, spot checks and yearly assessments in order to maintain CQS status. It is open only to members of the Law Society who meet the demanding standards set by the scheme and has the support of the Council of Mortgage Lenders.
2 months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Lakenham took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 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 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 Lakenham differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Lakenham approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Lakenham usually purchase the land, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Lakenham or who has acted in the same development.
