Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Buckfastleigh and Dean is more expensive?
The conveyancing fees on a leasehold property in Buckfastleigh and Dean is frequently more expensive as compared to a freehold residence. This is because there is an amount of additional work required in liaising with the landlord and management company to collate the evidence about whether the rent and service charges have been paid and whether there are any large sums expected to be spent in the foreseeable future on repairs or maintenance of the block.
I am considering applying for a Nationwide mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Buckfastleigh and Dean with 70% loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Nationwide ?
There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Nationwide will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is much more potential for delays and confusion with two solicitors involved, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Clydesdale. I assume I don't need a Buckfastleigh and Dean conveyancing practitioner on the Clydesdale panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Clydesdale mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Clydesdale mortgage from the register. Clydesdale, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Clydesdale has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Clydesdale has instructed the Land Registry to do so

How does conveyancing in Buckfastleigh and Dean differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Buckfastleigh and Dean contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because builders in Buckfastleigh and Dean tend to acquire the real estate, 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 Buckfastleigh and Dean or who has acted in the same development.
