I am purchasing a house for cash in Wilberfoss. I have resided for the last 20 years in Wilberfoss. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. As I know the road and vicinity very well must I have all the conveyancing searches?
In the absence of a home loan, then the vast majority of the Wilberfoss conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your conveyancer will try and steer you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but he has a professional duty to do this. One thing to bear in mind; if you are going to sell the house at a future date, it will be of relevance to your prospective buyer what the searches determine. Sometimes premises with functional issues can still throw up negative search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Wilberfoss will be able to give you some helpful guidance in this regard.
Can you clarify what the consequences are if my lawyer’s firm is expelled from the Principality Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Wilberfoss?
First, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.
2 months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Wilberfoss completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 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 residence 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.

Back In 2003, I bought a leasehold house in Wilberfoss. Conveyancing and Accord Mortgages Ltd mortgage are in place. A letter has just been received from someone saying they have taken over the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1992. The conveyancing solicitor in Wilberfoss who previously acted has now retired. What should I do?
The first thing you should do is make enquiries of the Land Registry to make sure that this person is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. There is no need to instruct a Wilberfoss conveyancing solicitor to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for £3. You should note that regardless, even if this is the rightful landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
