I am purchasing a house mortgage free in Seaford. I have resided for the previous twelve years in Seaford. Conveyancing searches are expensive. Given that I know the road and vicinity very well must I have all the conveyancing searches?
In the absence of a mortgage, then almost all of the Seaford conveyancing searches are optional. Your solicitor will try and sway you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but he has a professional duty to do this. One thing to take into account; if you are intend to dispose of the house in the future, it will likely be be of importance to your prospective buyer what the searches reveal. Sometimes properties with apparent issues can still show up detrimental search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Seaford will be able to give you some helpful advice in this regard.
When does exchange of contracts occur in residential conveyancing in Seaford and do I need to be at the solicitors branch?
Where you are round the corner to our conveyancing solicitors in Seaford you are welcome to attend to sign documents. However, the lender approved solicitors we work with offer a nationwide conveyancing service and provide just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally.

4 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Seaford completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?

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.
