is it true that all Babbacombe conveyancing solicitors on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel are governed by the SRA?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel they would need to be governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. The majority of lenders do list licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the firms would be regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
We had instructed conveyancing lawyers with offices in Babbacombe on the RBS solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a supplemental charge for the legal aspects of the RBS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by RBS?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your property lawyer is entitled to levy a fee for this. The charge is not set by RBS but by your Babbacombe conveyancer. Plenty of firms on the RBS panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
I moved into my home on 11 September and my personal details are still not on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Babbacombe said it should be recorded in less than a month. Are transfers in Babbacombe uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Babbacombe registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry have to notify any other parties. At present approximately three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with within two weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Registration takes place after the purchaser is living at the premises therefore post completion formalities is not typically primary concern yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers should contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I'm buying a new build house in Babbacombe with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent told me not to tell my solicitor about the deal as it would impact my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Babbacombe. Most leases are unique and drafting errors can sometimes mean that certain sections are wrong. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:
-
Repairing obligations to or maintain parts of the property A duty to insure the building
A defective lease can cause problems when trying to sell a property as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. Nationwide Building Society, Virgin Money, and Godiva Mortgages Ltd all have very detailed requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is defective they may refuse to grant the mortgage, obliging the purchaser to withdraw.
