What is the first thing I need to know concerning purchase conveyancing in Henbury?

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Henbury or throughout England and Wales is an adversarial process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of opportunity for conflict between you and other parties involved in the legal transfer of property. For example, the vendor, selling agent and sometimes a mortgage company. Selecting a lawyer for your conveyancing in Henbury is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE party in the process whose role it is to act in your best interests and to protect you.

Every so often a third party with a vested interest will attempt to persuade you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the property agent may claim to be helping by claiming that your lawyer is wrong. Or your financial adviser may advise you to do take action that is contrary to your conveyancers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

My friend recommended that where I am purchasing in Henbury I should ask my conveyancer to carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?

A search of this type is sometimes included in the estimate for your Henbury conveyancing searches. It is not a small document of more than thirty pages, listing and setting out significant information about Henbury around the property and the people living there. It incorporates an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the local Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime details, Local Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful data concerning Henbury.

It has been 2 months since my purchase conveyancing in Henbury completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 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.

I need to retain a conveyancing solicitor for some conveyancing in Henbury. I've land on a site which appears to be the perfect solution If there is a chance to get all the legals completed via phone that would be preferable. Should I be concerned? What should out be looking out for?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
