3 months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Springwell took place. 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 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.
How does conveyancing in Springwell differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Springwell approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because new home sellers in Springwell usually purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Springwell or who has acted in the same development.

As is the case with lots of service providers, often referrals from relatives can be most helpful. But there are many players in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, financial adviser and lenders might all put forward conveyancers to choose. On occasion the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but sometimes there might be a financial incentive behind the recommendation. You are free to select your own conveyancer. You need to be aware that most lenders specify a panel list of conveyancers you have to use for the lender related work in your transaction.
