As someone unfamiliar with conveyancing in Ringmer what is the number one tip you can impart for the legal transfer of property in Ringmer

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Ringmer and elsewhere in East Sussex is often a confrontational process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of opportunity for conflict between you and other parties involved in the transaction. For instance, the vendor, selling agent and sometimes your mortgage company. Selecting a solicitor for your conveyancing in Ringmer is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the transaction whose interest is to act in your legal interests and to protect you.

We are witnessing a definite emergence in the "blame" culture- someone must be blamed for the process being so protracted. You must always trust your solicitor ahead of the other players when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

It has been 3 months following my purchase conveyancing in Ringmer took place. 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 asset 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.
