3 months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Saxmundham took place. 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 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.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Saxmundham is the location of the property. Can you offer any advice?

Flying freeholds in Saxmundham are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Saxmundham you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Saxmundham 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.

My partner has recommend that I use his lawyers for conveyancing in Saxmundham. Should I use them?

No doubt it’s preferable to select a conveyancing lawyer is to get guidance from friends or family who have actually experience in using the firm you're considering.

Builders have put forward a solicitor and I've obtained an estimate from them. They are almost £300 cheaper than my family Saxmundham solicitor. What's the catch?

Housebuilders normally have lists of conveyancers who are quick and who know the builder's contract and property lawyer. As many developers offer an incentive to choose a preferred property lawyer for this reason, any increased fees can be avoided and a developer won't put forward a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the transaction stall when they need an exchange within a tight time frame. The argument for not opting for the suggested lawyer is that they may be unwilling to fight for your interests for fear of upsetting the housebuilder. If you worry that this may be the case you should stick with your local Saxmundham conveyancer.
