My Conveyancer in Kinver is not listed on the Solicitor Panel. Is it possible for me to use my prefered solicitor even though they are excluded from the panel?
The limited options available to you here include:
- Complete the purchase with your preferred Kinver lawyers but will need to use a conveyancer on their panel. This will result in additional overall conveyancing charges as well as result in delays.
- Get a new practitioner to to deal with the purchase, obviously checking they are approved.
- Persuade your based solicitor to attempt to join the panel
It has been 2 months following my purchase conveyancing in Kinver completed. 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 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've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Kinver is the location of the property. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Kinver are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Kinver you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Kinver may ascertain 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 premises.
