As a FTB what is the most important advice you can impart concerning purchase conveyancing in Woolacombe?

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Woolacombe or throughout Devon is an adversarial experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of room for conflict between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. E.g., the seller, selling agent and even potentially the mortgage company. Appointing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Woolacombe is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the legal process whose responsibility is to look after your legal interests and to keep you safe.

Every so often a third party with a vested interest will try and persuade you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the estate agent may claim to be assisting by claiming that your lawyer is wrong. Or your mortgage broker may tell you to do something that is against your lawyers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.

We're in Woolacombe, FTBs purchasing with a mortgage (lender is TSB , and our lawyer is on the TSB conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?

The fact that your lawyer is on the TSB conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancing practitioner 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.

It has been three months following my purchase conveyancing in Woolacombe took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £160,000. 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.

We are expecting to exchange on the purchase a house in Woolacombe but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have agreed recompense from the owner of four thousand pounds in the form of a reduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process however the mortgage company will not permit this. Why were they informed?

The solicitor listed on a mortgage company approved list is duty bound to disclose to the bank of any variations to the purchase price. If you did not allow your property lawyer to notify the reduction to your bank then they would have no choice but to refrain from acting for you and the bank.
