Me and my partner are acquiring our first home. Our solicitor has messagedto ask if we want to take out additional conveyancing searches. Frankly we have no idea as to what's needed for conveyancing in Boscastle
The range of Boscastle conveyancing searches depends primarily on the property, the location, the probability of any of these risks, your knowledge of the area and risks, your general attitude to risk.

Where you are in doubt, ask the solicitor to recommend.
We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The lender mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to use their panel lawyer as I would prefer to use a high street conveyancing solicitor in Boscastle?
You should check but the chances are that appoint one of their panel solicitors where you take up the "fee-free" deal. Speak to the bank and check if they make available a cash alternative. It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case that money can go towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor in Boscastle.
How does conveyancing in Boscastle differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Boscastle approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Boscastle usually purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Boscastle or who has acted in the same development.

I work for a reputable estate agency in Boscastle where we have witnessed a number of leasehold sales derailed as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received contradictory information from local Boscastle conveyancing firms. Can you confirm whether the vendor of a flat can initiate the lease extension formalities for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
Provided that the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the proposed purchaser can avoid having to sit tight for 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done prior to, or at the same time as completion of the disposal of the property.
Alternatively, it may be possible to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.
