My husband and I are purchasing a brand new flat in Stockport and my lawyer is telling me that she is duty bound to the lender to disclose incentives from the builder. I am nearing the developer’s deadline to exchange and I would rather not delay deal. Is my lawyer right?

You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your lawyer. A precondition to being on a bank panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.

Completed the sale of my flat in Stockport last June but our buyer keeps SMS messaging daily complaining that her conveyancer is waiting to hear from mylawyer. What are the post completion sale formalities now that I have sold?

After completion of your house sale your solicitor is committed to send the transfer deeds and all additional paperwork to the buyer’s conveyancer. If applicable, your lawyer should also evidence that the mortgage has been discharged to the purchasers lawyers. There are no post completion tasks just for conveyancing in Stockport.

three months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Stockport completed. 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 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.

I'm purchasing a flat in Stockport. I can find my conveyancer's company on the Law Society's list, but I can't see my lawyer's name on the list. Is this a big problem?

Not all staff in the practice must be listed by the regulator. As long there is someone qualified to 'oversee' the conveyancing, the actual day-to-day activity can be conducted by unlicensed staff.
