It has been three months following my purchase conveyancing in Earlswood took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 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.

I was pointed in your direction by a number of estate agents in Earlswood to get a quote from a conveyancer using your seach tool. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to recommend your services ahead of a competitor’s?

We refuse to offer any referral fee for directing people in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission as home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.

  • A significant proportion of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Earlswood can be bypassed if you instruct lawyers as soon as you market your property and ask them to collate the leasehold documentation which will be required by the buyers’ conveyancers.
  • If you are supposed to have a share in the Management Company, you should make sure that you are holding the original share document. Obtaining a re-issued share certificate is often a lengthy process and frustrates many a Earlswood conveyancing transaction. Where a reissued share is necessary, you should approach the company officers or managing agents (if relevant) for this sooner rather than later. If you have carried out any alterations to the residence would they have required Landlord’s permission? In particular have you laid down wooden flooring? Earlswood leases often stipulate that internal structural alterations or installing wooden flooring require a licence from the Landlord acquiescing to such changes. Should you dont have the consents in place do not contact the landlord without checking with your conveyancer in advance. You may think that you are aware of the number of years left on your lease but it would be wise to double-check by asking your lawyers. A buyer’s lawyer will be unlikely to recommend their client to where the remaining number of years is under 80 years. In the circumstances it is essential at an early stage that you identify whether the lease for your property needs extending. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your premises on the market for sale.
