I had a mortgage agreed in principle with Skipton. Tottenham conveyancing lawyers are chosen. How long does it take for Skipton to send the offer to the lawyer?

It has been 4 months since my purchase conveyancing in Tottenham concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 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 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.
How does conveyancing in Tottenham differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Tottenham approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because new home sellers in Tottenham usually acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Tottenham or who has acted in the same development.
