I am purchasing a property for cash in Hilton. I have lived for the last 15 years in Hilton. Conveyancing searches are expensive. As I know the road and vicinity very well must I have all the conveyancing searches?

Your solicitor will ’encourage you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but he has a professional duty to do this.

There are plenty of instances where houses with no practical issues can still throw up unfavourable search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Hilton will be able to give you some practical guidance here.

3 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Hilton took place. I have checked the Land Registry site 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 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.

About to purchase a new build apartment in Hilton. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Hilton is the location of the property. Can you offer any opinion?

Flying freeholds in Hilton are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Hilton you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Hilton may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
