Are the Isle Of Wight conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by ?

Isle Of Wight conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from directly.

I am intent on selling our house in Isle Of Wight and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Isle Of Wight lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed a web based conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Isle Of Wight. We have lived in Isle Of Wight for 5 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to seek confirmation that the buyers are looking for.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)

3 months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Isle Of Wight concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 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 residence 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 need to instruct a conveyancing solicitor for some conveyancing in Isle Of Wight. I've chance upon a site which seems to have the ideal solution If it is possible to get all formalities done via email that would be ideal. Should I be concerned? What are the potential pitfalls?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?

Are there any specific advantages to instructing a high street in Isle Of Wight
