If I am purchasing a property in Stroud, is it necessary to seek a chancel liability search?
The case of Aston has prompted many a conveyancing solicitor in Stroud to requisition chancel searches. Indemnity policies can be arranged if chancel liability is likely to be enforced. Your conveyancing lawyer should provide more details. Church of England properties in Stroud where chancel liability may apply include parish data base.
four months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Stroud concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website 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.
I have been recommended by two or three local estate agents in Stroud to choose a property lawyer using your seach tool. What’s the financial inducement for Estate Agents to market your site over and above a competitor’s?
We refuse to make any financial incentive for pointing buyers and sellers our way. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission because home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
