AssumingI were to acquire a freehold homein Penkridge for cash and dispense with a survey and no local authority searches how much should I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Penkridge?

Any savings you would make will be limited to the Penkridge conveyancing searches. Your is obliged to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, liaising with your sellers , SDLT submission, register the ownership etc. You might save a bit for them not having to register a charge however it won't be meaningful.

3 months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Penkridge completed. I have checked the Land Registry site 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.

Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Penkridge prior to instructing lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the house. My surveyor advised that some mortgage companies will refuse to grant a loan on such a property.

I was advised by a number of estate agents in Penkridge to locate a solicitor on your site. What’s the financial upside for Estate Agents to recommend your site over and above alternative conveyancing organisations?

We don’t offer any financial incentive for directing people to this site. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission because home movers will think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
