Finally the sale completed on my house in Alsager last August but our buyer keeps telephoning every few hours complaining that her solicitor needs to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale legalities now that I have sold?

Following your sale your conveyancer is duty bound to send the transfer documentation and all additional paperwork to the buyer’s solicitors. Where appropriate, your solicitor must also evidence that the home loan has been paid off to the purchasers solicitors. There is unlikely to be post completion tasks unique to conveyancing in Alsager.

Please explain the implications if my solicitor is expelled from the Principality Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Alsager?

First, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.

It has been four months since my purchase conveyancing in Alsager took place. I have checked the Land Registry website 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 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.

I'm remortgaging my current house to a BTL loan with Platform Home Loans Ltd and I will use the ballance of the raised equity as a down payment on a second house. The neighborhood we are looking at is Alsager. Will your lawyers be able to act for the two lenders and tie in the two deals?

Do use our comparison tool on this site to be sure that the solicitors are approved by both mortgage companies. On the basis that they are your solicitor should be able to connect the two conveyancing matters but you should have a chat with you conveyancer and specify your desired outcome and requirements.

Can you please explain what options are open to me if my Alsager conveyancing searches reveals negative entries?

On the whole, almost all concerns arising from Alsager conveyancing search responses can be dealt with before completion or title insurance can be obtained. You should note that although you are acquiring the property and may be willing to live with the search results, your building society or bank may not, and ultimately they have the final say.
