Our conveyancer has identified a a problem with the lease for the property we are purchasing in Winsford. The seller’s lawyers have put forward defective title insurance as a solution. We are content with insurance and will cover the costs. Our solicitor has advised that he must ensure that the mortgage company is happy with this solution. Are we the client or is the mortgage company ?
Regardless of the fact that you have a mortgage offer from the lender does not mean to say that the property will meet their specifications for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. You and the lender are the client. These conveyancing instructions must be adhered to.

four months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Winsford concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 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 premises 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 Winsford differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Winsford approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because developers in Winsford tend to buy 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 conveyancers 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Winsford or who has acted in the same development.
