Recently contacted my conveyancing solicitor in Langham who completed the legal work 18 months ago requesting a conveyancing quote based on the same type of house move (a leasehold property and a freehold property) of almost identical values with a mortgage from Platform Home Loans Ltd. It looks as though am now being quoted double. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for a cheaper online property lawyer?
The costs illustration is fractionally on the expensive side. If you shop around you might decrease the fees slightly by as much as a hundred pounds. That being said, providing that you were pleased with the service the firm offered you couldlive to regret opting for an a cheaper conveyancer.

Various online forums that I have come across warn that are the main cause of stalling in Langham conveyancing transactions. Is this right?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published findings of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the most frequent causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Local searches are not likely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Langham.
It has been five months since my purchase conveyancing in Langham took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 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 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.
How does conveyancing in Langham differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Langham come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because builders in Langham tend to buy 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 Langham or who has acted in the same development.
