Reasons to use our Bovey Tracey conveyancing solicitors

  • 1 Cut price packages from online conveyancers might be tempting. However, these organisations are often located hundreds of kilometers away with little understanding of the factors that affect property transactions in Bovey Tracey
  • 2 The organisations listed on our web pages have a mix of conveyancing practitioners, legal executives and support staff handling thousands of conveyancing matters annually.
  • 3 On the balance of probabilities the other side’s conveyancers are located in Bovey Tracey - if so sets of lawyers are likely to be less confrontational
  • 4 Bovey Tracey property lawyers have a significant advantage when it comes to Bovey Tracey conveyancing as they have important local knowledge of local authority requirements, planning policies and other matters that will impact your sale or purchase
  • 5 The mark of a good conveyancing solicitor in Bovey Tracey is quality not quantity. The level of service offered by conveyancing "factories" (sometimes 'recommended' by national chain estate agents) often falls short of the high standards of professionalism you would hope for.

We instructed a local solicitor for my conveyancing in Bovey Tracey yesterday. After carefully reading the fine print I seeI am on the hook for fees even where the conveyance does not complete. Would I be best advised to use a web based lawyer promising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Bovey Tracey?

four months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Bovey Tracey concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 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 premises 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.

Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Bovey Tracey from the perspective of expediting the sale process?

  • A significant proportion of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Bovey Tracey can be reduced if you appoint lawyers the minute you market your property and request that they start to put together the leasehold documentation which will be required by the buyers’ conveyancers.
  • In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s approval? Have you, for example installed wooden flooring? Most leases in Bovey Tracey state that internal structural changes or installing wooden flooring calls for a licence issued by the Landlord acquiescing to such works. If you dont have the approvals in place do not communicate with the landlord without checking with your solicitor in the first instance. If you have the benefit of shareholding in the freehold, you should ensure that you are holding the original share certificate. Organising a replacement share certificate is often a lengthy formality and frustrates many a Bovey Tracey conveyancing transaction. If a new share certificate is needed, you should approach the company officers or managing agents (if relevant) for this as soon as possible. A minority of Bovey Tracey leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this is the case, you should place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers put in hand financial (bank) and professional references. Any bank reference will need to confirm that the buyers are able to meet the yearly service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the buyers or their lawyers. The majority of freeholders or managing agents in Bovey Tracey charge for supplying management packs for a leasehold home. You or your lawyers should find out the fee that they propose to charge. The management pack can be applied for as soon as you have a buyer, thus reducing delays. The typical amount of time it takes to obtain the necessary information is three weeks. It is the most frequent reason for frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Bovey Tracey.

I bought a basement flat in Bovey Tracey, conveyancing formalities finalised March 1998. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Comparable flats in Bovey Tracey with a long lease are worth £180,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 invoiced annually. The lease terminates on 21st October 2084

With 59 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £20,900 and £24,200 as well as professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs without more comprehensive investigations. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other concerns that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action based on this information without first getting professional advice.

Should local authority consent be necessary to change a house into a couple of flats in Bovey Tracey? This has taken place to a property adjacent to my home in Bovey Tracey and was not aware of it happening until it was finished.
