There are plenty of conveyancing solicitors in Cromer but how do I know who I should use?
We would encourage you not to base your choice on the cheapest Cromer conveyancing fees. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of time.
I am assisting my mother sell her house in Cromer. Will the solicitor arrange an energy assessment or should I organise this?
After the abolition of Home Packs, energy assessments was retained a mandatory component of moving house. An energy assessment should be to hand before the property is marketed. This is not something that lawyers ordinarily organise. Where you are using a Cromer conveyancing solicitor they might help arrange energy performance certificates due to their relationships with long established Cromer providers
At last I have had an offer on an apartment in Cromer accepted, but there is a chain. The vendors have offered on somewhere, however it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other apartments in the pipeline. I have chosen a local conveyancing solicitor in Cromer. What should be my next step? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Aldermore?
It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Cromer conveyancing search charges, etc). The first course of action is to check that your lawyer is on the Aldermore approved list. As to the next stages this very much dictated by the circumstances of your case, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market many home buyers would apply for a home loan with Aldermore and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their property lawyer to proceed with searches.
It has been four months following my purchase conveyancing in Cromer concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 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 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.

Should I choose a Cromer conveyancing solicitor based in the vicinity that I am purchasing? I have an old university friend who can handle the conveyancing however his firm is located over three hundred miles away.
The benefit of a local Cromer conveyancing firm is that you can pop in to sign documents, hand in your identification documents and pester them where appropriate. Having local Cromer know how is a plus. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If other friends have used your friend and the majority were content that must trump using an unfamiliar Cromer conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being based in the area.
