As someone clueless as to conveyancing in Broadclyst what is your top tip you can give me concerning the house moving process in Broadclyst
Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Broadclyst and elsewhere in Devon is an adversarial experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of opportunity for friction between you and others involved in the transaction. For instance, the vendor, estate agent and on occasion the bank. Choosing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Broadclyst is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the legal process whose role it is to protect your legal interests and to keep you safe.
On occasion a third party with a vested interest will attempt to convince you that you should follow their advice. For instance, the selling agent may claim to be assisting by claiming that your conveyancer is dragging his heels. Or your mortgage broker may try to convince you to do take action that is contrary to your lawyers advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.

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 telephoned my Broadclyst building society branch on various occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Broadclyst conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called to say that they refuse to lend based on their specific requirements. I have no idea who is right.
The solicitor must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 specifications for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender 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 lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in February 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Bank of Ireland are being difficult. The Broadclyst solicitor who is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Bank of Ireland are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Bank of Ireland have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Bank of Ireland have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Bank of Ireland may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Planning on purchasing a maisonette in Broadclyst. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Santander conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Broadclyst conveyancer is on the Santander conveyancing panel.

How can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my business offices in Broadclyst and how can you help?

I have recently realised that I have 68 years remaining on my flat in Broadclyst. I need to extend my lease but my freeholder is can not be found. What should I do?
On the basis that you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be extended by the magistrate. You will be obliged to prove that you have used your best endeavours to track down the lessor. For most situations an enquiry agent would be helpful to carry out a search and to produce a report which can be accepted by the court as proof that the landlord can not be located. It is advisable to get professional help from a conveyancer in relation to investigating the landlord’s absence and the application to the County Court covering Broadclyst.
