As I am unsure how the conveyancing bit works what is the most important advice you can give me concerning purchase conveyancing in Northfleet?

Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Northfleet and elsewhere in England and Wales is often a confrontational process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of room for confrontation between you and others involved in the legal transfer of property. For instance, the seller, selling agent and even potentially the lender. Choosing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Northfleet is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE person in the legal process whose role it is to act in your legal interests and to keep you safe.

There is a worrying ongoing adversarial element to conveyancing- someone has to be blamed for the process taking so long. You should always trust your conveyancer ahead of all other parties in the home moving process.

I am remortgaging my home in Northfleet, does my lawyer have to be on the Nationwide Solicitor panel?

There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Nationwide will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is much more potential for delays and confusion with an additional lawyer added to the mix, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.

three months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Northfleet took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £170,000. 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 am buying my first flat in Northfleet with a mortgage from Santander. The builders would not move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The sale representative told me not to tell my lawyer about this extras as it would put at risk my mortgage with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
