In the event thatI were to acquire a freehold homein Thorne for cash and dispense with a survey and no conveyancing searches how much could I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Thorne?
The sole reduction in fees you would achieve is the Thorne conveyancing searches. The conveyancing practitioner still got to do everything else - money laundering, correspond with your sellers conveyancing practitioner, stamp duty return, register the property etc. You might save a bit for them not having to register a mortgage but it will not be significant.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the home buying as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Thorne. Do I pick up the keys to the house on completion from my lawyer? If so, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Thorne?
On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Thorne. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the purchase money to the owner’s conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be invited to receive the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
We are getting the release of further funds on our home loan from Coventry BS as we want to carry out renovations to our property in Thorne. Are we obliged to choose a local Thorne solicitor on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
Coventry BS would not normally appoint firms on their conveyancing panel to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Coventry BS list.
Completion of my purchase has taken place for my property in Thorne. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I would like to complain about the lender. How do I make a complaint?
All lenders have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Department at head office. We understand that complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service with full details of your complaint.
It has been 4 months since my purchase conveyancing in Thorne 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.
