My wife and I are acquiring residence in Bude. My Solicitor is not listed on the bank approved list. Am I still permitted to retain my Bude conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the mortgage company panel?
You must appoint a property lawyer to complete the formalities when you require a loan to purchase your property. The lawyer will conduct all the essential due diligence on the property, make sure that you’re properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the necessary mortgage documentation is dealt with. One may instruct a Bude conveyancing practitioner of your choosing. Nevertheless, where the property lawyer appointed is not on the bank conveyancing panel supplemental fees will arise as separate legal representation will be required by them. Conveyancing panel applications can be submitted, so provided your conveyancer has not historically applied for membership they can do so.

How does conveyancing in Bude differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Bude come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because house builders in Bude typically buy 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 used to new build conveyancing in Bude or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Bude is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Bude are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Bude you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Bude may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
