What is the first thing I need to know about purchase conveyancing in Woolacombe?

Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Woolacombe and elsewhere in Devon is often a confrontational experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of opportunity for conflict between you and others involved in the legal transfer of property. E.g., the seller, property agent and sometimes your bank. Choosing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Woolacombe is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the process whose role it is to act in your legal interests and to keep you safe.

There is a distinct ongoing adversarial element to conveyancing- someone has to be at fault for the process taking so long. We recommend that you should always trust your conveyancer above the other parties in the home moving process.

We're in Woolacombe, First time buyers buying with a mortgage (lender is Leeds Building Society , and our lawyer is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?

The fact that your lawyer is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no solicitor should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

3 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Woolacombe took place. I have checked the Land Registry site 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 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.

We are about to exchange on the purchase a house in Woolacombe but as a result of wreckage from the recent storms I have agreed compensation from the seller of five thousand pounds by way of a deduction in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process however my mortgage company will not permit this. Why were they notified?

Any solicitor listed on a bank approved list is obliged to advise the mortgage company of any amendments to the sale figure. If you did not allow your conveyancing practitioner to report the reduction to your mortgage company then they would have to refrain from acting for you and the mortgage company.
