Having sold my house in Rushden last spec month but the buyer keeps e-mailing every few hours to say his conveyancer is waiting to hear from mylawyer. What should have happened now that I have sold?
Post completion of your disposal your solicitor should deliver the transfer deeds and all of the paperwork to the buyer’s solicitors. Where appropriate, your solicitor should also confirm that the home loan has been discharged to the buyers solicitors. There is unlikely to be post completion procedures peculiar conveyancing in Rushden.
3 months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Rushden completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 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 property 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.
My brother has suggested that I instruct his conveyancing solicitors in Rushden. Should I use them?
There are no two ways about it it’s preferable to select a conveyancing practitioner is to have referrals from friends or family who have actually experience in using the solicitor you're considering.
