My property lawyer in Shacklewell has never been on on the Bank of Ireland Approved Panel. Can I still retain my family solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the Bank of Ireland panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
Your options are as follows:
- Carry on with your existing Shacklewell lawyers but Bank of Ireland will need to use a solicitor on their list of acceptable firms. This will inevitably rack up the overall conveyancing fees as well as cause delays.
- Choose a new lawyer to to deal with the purchase, remembering to check they are on the Bank of Ireland panel
It has been four months following my purchase conveyancing in Shacklewell completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £170,000. 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.
How does conveyancing in Shacklewell differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Shacklewell come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Shacklewell tend to 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 used to new build conveyancing in Shacklewell or who has acted in the same development.
