I require conveyancing for an apartment in a relatively new development (five years built) in Staffordshire. The vast majority the properties are already sold. Do I need carry out the neighbourhood searches as part of conveyancing in Staffordshire?
If you are acquiring a property with the assistance of a mortgage, your lender will require some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Staffordshire conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. No doubt your conveyancer, will ’encourage’, perhaps strongly, that you should have the searches done, but he or she has a professional duty to do this. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you demand that your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or ask you to appoint a different lawyer for your conveyancing in Staffordshire.

three months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Staffordshire 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 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.
