Should lawyers ask for money on account when it comes to conveyancing in Southport?
Where you are retaining lawyers for conveyancing in Southport your solicitor will ask you to provide them with monies to cover the search fees. This will be the total of the cost of the conveyancing searches. If any deposit is as part of the purchase price then this will be required shortly ahead of exchange of contracts. The final balance that is due should be sent to your lawyer shortly before completion.
I am buying a terraced house in Southport. Can I do my own conveyancing?

It has been 2 months since my purchase conveyancing in Southport concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £180,000. 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.
How does conveyancing in Southport differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Southport come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because developers in Southport usually buy the land, 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 used to new build conveyancing in Southport or who has acted in the same development.
