Should lawyers request money on account for my conveyancing in Loddon?
If you are buying a property in Loddon your solicitor will ask you put them with funds to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches.

It has been 3 months following my purchase conveyancing in Loddon completed. I have checked the Land Registry website 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 premises 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 buying a new build flat in Loddon. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.
Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Loddon
-
Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on last month in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Loddon is the location of the property. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Loddon are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Loddon you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Loddon may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
I am thinking of using an online conveyancing practitioner rather than a Loddon conveyancing practice. Should I ‘stay local’?
Numerous benefits exist in being able to attend a local Loddon conveyancing solicitor for instance
- signing documents and and when necessary
- sometimes being able to see someone face-to-face can make a significant difference, particularly for more complex conveyancing
- the ability to raise concerns if matters go pear-shaped
When comparing estimates, look out for hidden extras. The majority decent Loddon high street solicitors give an all-inclusive figure. Many online companies seem to offer low cost fees, yet have burried 'extras' in the small print.
