I am buying a house and the conveyancer has identified Chancel Repair to which the property may be liable given it’s proximity to the area of such a church. She has mentioned insurance. Is this really necessary for conveyancing in Countesthorpe
Unless a previous acquisition of the house took place after 12 October 2013 you could expect lawyers carrying out conveyancing in Countesthorpe to remain recommending a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.
It has been three months since my purchase conveyancing in Countesthorpe took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 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 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.
Is it best to go with a Countesthorpe conveyancing practitioner in close proximity to the house I am purchasing? An old friend can carry out the legal formalities however his firm is located a couple of hundredmiles drive away.
The benefit of a high street Countesthorpe conveyancing firm is that you can pop in to execute paperwork, hand in your ID and apply pressure on them where appropriate. Having local Countesthorpe know how is a plus. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who instructed your friend and they were impressed that must trump using an unfamiliar Countesthorpe conveyancing solicitor just because they are local.
