I am under pressure from the mortgagee in possession of a property in Yeading to sign contracts within four weeks. What can I do to hasten the buying process?
Where the seller is applying a tight deadline to sign contracts it is advisable to make sure that your conveyancer is familiar with the area as they will have local relationships and know-how. It is possible that they may have transacted otherhomes in the same neighbourhood. You would be best advised to use a Yeading conveyancing firm. Second, check that the lawyer is on the member panel. It is estimated that nearly one in five of Yeading conveyancing transactions are suspended or derailed after finding out that a purchaser’s solicitor was not on their mortgage lender’s panel. In many cases this discovery resulted in the legal process being delayed by as much as three weeks. It is understood that this issue impacts in the region of 100,000 home moves every year. Most Yeading conveyancing firms can not act for certain mortgage companies so do check as early as possible.
As someone not used to the Yeading conveyancing process what is the number one tip you can impart for the ownership transfer in Yeading
Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Yeading and elsewhere in England and Wales is often a confrontational experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of room for confrontation between you and other parties involved in the house moving process. E.g., the vendor, selling agent and on occasion the lender. Selecting a lawyer for your conveyancing in Yeading an important selection as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the legal process whose role it is to look after your best interests and to keep you safe.

Or your financial adviser may tell you to do something that is against your lawyers guidance.

It has been 4 months since my purchase conveyancing in Yeading completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £180,000. 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.
I decided to have a survey done on a house in Yeading ahead of retaining conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. The surveyor has said that some banks will refuse to grant a mortgage on this type of home.
