I am considering applying for a mortgage for purchase of a new build (under development) in Brigg with 70% LTV. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for ?

In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the conveyancing panel, but would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.

4 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Brigg concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 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 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 am buying a new build flat in Brigg. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.

Here are examples of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Brigg

The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared.

Am I better off to use a Brigg conveyancing practitioner based in the vicinity that I am buying? An old friend can conduct the legal work but his firm is located 400miles drive away.

The primary upside of using a local Brigg conveyancing firm is that you can attend the office to sign documents, present your ID and apply pressure on them where appropriate. Having local Brigg know how is a plus. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If if people you trust used your friend and on the whole were content that must outweigh using an unfamiliar Brigg conveyancing solicitor just because they are local.
