Having been recommended your company we were going to appoint conveyancing solicitor in South Normanton listed using your comparison tool but stumbled across alternative costs illustrations via the web seem cheaper – how come?

One can find many firms of firms promoting so-called cheap conveyancing, but additionalfees end up with the completion bill being inflated.

3 months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in South Normanton took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 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.

I am purchasing my first flat in South Normanton with the aid of help to buy. The sellers would not reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The property agent advised me not to tell my conveyancer about this side-deal as it may impact my mortgage with Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. 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.

Builders have recommended to me a conveyancer and I've received a quote from them. It's almost two hundred pounds less expensive than my own South Normanton property lawyer. Should I use them?

Housebuilders frequently have panels of lawyers who expedite matters and who know the builder's documentation and conveyancer. Plenty of developers offer an incentive to select a preferred lawyer for this reason, any increased charges can be avoided and a developer will not recommend a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the transaction stall when they demand an exchange inside a month. The argument for not opting for the recommended solicitor is that they may prove unwilling to 'push' your interests at the risk of upsetting the sellers. Where you have concerns that this may be the case you should remain with your local South Normanton property lawyer.
