Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Exminster

My flat in Exminster is up for sale and I have a purchaser. Does my conveyancing practitioner need to be on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their conditions fairly frequently at the moment.

What is your number one tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Exminster

Do not opt for the cheapest Exminster conveyancing fees. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of the deal.

This question may be naive but I am new to the process as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Exminster. Do I pick up the keys to the premises on completion from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Exminster?

On the day of completion you will not be required to attend the conveyancers office in Exminster. Your solicitors will transfer the purchase money to the owner’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be able to receive the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens early afternoon.

Our offer on a detached house in Exminster has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The vendors have offered on a property, however it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other properties in the pipeline. I have selected a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Exminster. What should be my next step? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Co-operative?

It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Exminster conveyancing search charges, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. As to the next phase this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your transaction, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a hot market many buyers would apply for the mortgage with Co-operative and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their lawyer to move forward with the conveyancing in Exminster.

We are planning on selling our home in Exminster and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed an internet conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Exminster. Having lived in Exminster for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to get clarification that the buyers are looking for.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)

I am buying a new build flat in Exminster. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.

Set out below are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Exminster

    Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified.

I have been recommended by two or three local selling agents in Exminster to choose a property lawyer on your site. Is there a financial advantage for Estate Agents to recommend your lawyers ahead of another?

We refuse to offer any referral fee for sending work in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission because members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.

In my capacity as executor for the estate of my father I am disposing of a residence in Monmouth but I am based in Exminster. My lawyer (approximately 260 kilometers from mehas requested that I execute a statutory declaration before completion. Could you suggest a conveyancing lawyer in Exminster to attest this legal document for me?

Technically speaking you are unlikely to need to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily any notary public or solicitor will be fine regardless of whether they are Exminster based
