I am in the process of refinancing my apartment in Boscastle, does my lawyer have to be on the Lloyds Solicitor panel?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Lloyds conveyancing panel, but Lloyds would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.
I am helping my niece sell her property in Boscastle. Does the conveyancing solicitor order the energy assessment or do I organise this?
After the demise of Home Packs, energy performance certificates was retained a compulsory component of selling a house. An energy performance certificate should be commissioned in advance of the property being placed on the market. This is not as aspect of the sale process that solicitors ordinarily organise. Where you are using a Boscastle conveyancing solicitor they may help arrange energy assessments given their relationships with long established Boscastle energy assessors

I can not fathom if my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Boscastle building society branch on numerous occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Boscastle conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they will not lend in accordance with their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
As long as the lawyer is on the bank approved list, she or he must follow the CML Handbook provisions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
five months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Boscastle took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 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 asset 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.
How does conveyancing in Boscastle differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Boscastle contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because new home sellers in Boscastle tend to purchase the site, 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Boscastle or who has acted in the same development.
