Completed the sale of my flat in Northumberland Heath last December but my buyer keeps calling every few hours to moan that their lawyer needs to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale legalities now that I have sold?
Post completion of your house sale your conveyancer is obliged to send the transfer deeds and all additional paperwork to the buyer’s conveyancer. If applicable, your conveyancer must also confirm that the home loan has been redeemed to the purchasers lawyers. There is unlikely to be post completion requirements unique to conveyancing in Northumberland Heath.
4 months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Northumberland Heath completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 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 asset 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 Northumberland Heath differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Northumberland Heath come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because developers in Northumberland Heath usually buy the real estate, 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 Northumberland Heath or who has acted in the same development.
Taking into account that I am about to part with over three hundred thousand on a terraced house in Northumberland Heath I wish to have a conversation with the conveyancer concerning thetransaction ahead of appointing the firm. Can this be arranged?

The solicitors that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are provided with for your conveyancing in Northumberland Heath should be the amount on the final invoice that you are charged.
Back In 2002, I bought a leasehold house in Northumberland Heath. Conveyancing and Barclays Direct mortgage are in place. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. It included a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1996. The conveyancing practitioner in Northumberland Heath who previously acted has now retired. Do I pay?
First make enquiries of the Land Registry to make sure that this person is indeed the new freeholder. There is no need to instruct a Northumberland Heath conveyancing practitioner to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for less than a fiver. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the legitimate landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
