You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Taverham and elsewhere in Norfolk is an adversarial experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of room for confrontation between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. For example, the vendor, selling agent and even potentially a bank. Appointing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Taverham an important selection as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE party in the process whose interest is to act in your legal interests and to protect you.

It has been three months since my purchase conveyancing in Taverham concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £215,000. 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 property 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 short of a 10% deposit on my flat purchase in Taverham , but I am keen exchange. What can I do?
You can accept a lower deposit. Many vendors will agree to a lower deposit or even no deposit for a first time buyer or 100% mortgage. Be aware though that if you fail to complete you will still need to hand over a minimum of 10% of the purchase price regardless of how much deposit was agreed.
You can also agree a simultaneous exchange and completion as no deposit is required for this however neither party will be tied in until completion actually takes place and it can be risky if sellers change their mind at the last minute
