As I am unsure how the conveyancing process works what is the most important piece of guidance you can impart concerning purchase conveyancing in Taverham?
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Taverham or throughout England and Wales is an adversarial experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is lots of room for friction between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. For instance, the vendor, selling agent and sometimes the lender. Choosing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Taverham should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY party in the transaction whose interest is to look after your best interests and to protect you.
We are witnessing a distinct increase in the "blame" culture- someone has to be at fault for the process being so protracted. You your first instinct should be to trust your lawyer ahead of all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.
I have been told that property searches are the main cause of delay in Taverham house deals. Is this right?

2 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Taverham completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £180,000. 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.

Do you have any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Taverham from the point of view of saving time on the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Taverham can be avoided where you appoint lawyers as soon as you market your property and request that they start to put together the leasehold documentation needed by the purchasers’ representatives. A minority of Taverham leases require Landlord’s consent to the sale and approval of the buyers. If this applies to your lease, you should place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers obtain bank and professional references. The bank reference should make it clear that the buyer is able to meet the yearly service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the actual amount of the service charge so that they can pass this information on to the purchasers or their lawyers. If you have carried out any alterations to the residence would they have required Landlord’s consent? In particular have you installed wooden flooring? Most leases in Taverham state that internal structural changes or laying down wooden flooring require a licence issued by the Landlord consenting to such alterations. If you dont have the paperwork in place you should not contact the landlord without contacting your lawyer first. Many landlords or managing agents in Taverham levy fees for providing management packs for a leasehold property. You or your lawyers should discover the actual amount of the charges. The management information sought on or before finding a buyer, thus reducing delays. The average time it takes to obtain the necessary information is three weeks. It is the most common reason for delay in leasehold conveyancing in Taverham.
