Pre- 2008 most lenders had a different appetite for risk. Almost all Sketty conveyancing firms would have been on most mortgage company panels. The financial services regulator in 2010 completed a thematic investigation into mortgage fraud which come to the conclusion: know the conveyancing solicitors dealt with. Consequently, mortgage companies have regularly sought more information from law firms relating to their operations and the individuals who work for them as well as set certain criteria such a completing on a minimum amount of transactions. Many Sketty conveyancing firms that have been excluded from lender panels have a 100% healthy track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Sketty is one of the many locations where the lawyers showing on our search results are on the panel for .
It has been 4 months since my purchase conveyancing in Sketty concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £170,000. 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.
Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Sketty before retaining lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. The surveyor has said that some mortgage companies will not give a loan on a flying freehold house.
