I had intended to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Purfleet for our home move. Our financial adviser informed us that our mortgage company won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unduly restrictive?
A decade ago most banks had an appetite for risk which was higher than today. Almost all Purfleet conveyancing firms would have been on many bank panels. The financial services regulator in 2010 carried out a thematic review into mortgage fraud which concluded: know the conveyancing solicitors dealt with. Consequently, lenders have regularly sought more data from law firms about their operations and the individuals who work for them as well as set certain criteria such a completing on a minimum number of conveyancing. Many Purfleet conveyancing firms that have been excluded from lender panels have a 100% healthy track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Purfleet is amongst the hundreds of locations where the solicitors we recommend are members of the panel for .
It has been 3 months following my purchase conveyancing in Purfleet concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £215,000. 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 premises 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.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my 2 bed apartment in Purfleet. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have recently had a quarterly maintenance charge invoice – Do I pay up?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the service charge as you normally would because all rents and maintenance payments will be apportioned on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
I own a 1 bedroom flat in Purfleet, conveyancing was carried out half a dozen years ago. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Corresponding properties in Purfleet with an extended lease are worth £165,000. The ground rent is £45 invoiced every year. The lease ends on 21st October 50
With just 50 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £36,100 and £41,800 plus professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs without more detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
