I am purchasing a property without a mortgage in Groby. I have been residing for the previous 15 years in Groby. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. Given that I know the road and vicinity very well should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
In the absence of a home loan, then all but one or two of the Groby conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your conveyancer will 'advise', no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches completed, but she is duty bound to do this.

Sometimes properties with no practical issues can still show up unfavourable search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Groby will be able to give you some helpful advice in this regard.

five months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Groby took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 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 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.
How does conveyancing in Groby differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Groby contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because builders in Groby usually buy the land, 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 property lawyers 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 Groby or who has acted in the same development.
