Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Petersfield

Having sold my house in Petersfield last September yet the purchaser is Skype messaging me to say her solicitor is waiting to hear from myconveyancer. What are the post completion sale formalities following completion?

Post completion of your disposal your solicitor should send the transfer documentation and all additional paperwork to the purchaser's solicitors. Depending on the transaction, your conveyancer should also send confirmation that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been repaid to the buyers conveyancers. There are no post completion procedures peculiar conveyancing in Petersfield.

Please explain the implications if my lawyer’s firm is expelled from the Coventry BS Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Petersfield?

First, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.

It has been three months since my purchase conveyancing in Petersfield took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 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.
