Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Haslingden

Me and my partner are due to exchange buying a property in Haslingden but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate reparation from the seller of three thousand pounds taking the form of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of a side agreement yet Virgin Money are not allowing this. Should they have been informed?

Your conveyancer being on a Virgin Money conveyancing panel is obliged to inform Virgin Money of any changes to the purchase price. If you prohibit your lawyer to report the price change to Virgin Money then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Virgin Money and you would have to appoint a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Haslingden.

Please explain the implications if my solicitor is removed from the Kent Reliance Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Haslingden?

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 for a fee.

five months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Haslingden took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £215,000. 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 asset 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 Haslingden differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Haslingden contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because house builders in Haslingden typically buy the real estate, 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Haslingden or who has acted in the same development.
