Me and my partner are buying a house in Callington. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a lawyer? At some point we have to put funds into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our deposit?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.

About to purchase apartment in Callington. 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 Aldermore 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 Callington solicitor is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.
My wife and I own a semi-detached Georgian property in Callington. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Barclays Direct. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Callington and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also question the situation with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the conveyancing.
I am purchasing my first flat in Callington benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent told me not disclose to my lawyer about the extras as it could adversely affect my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
Am I best advised to instruct a Callington conveyancing practitioner based in the location that I am buying? An old friend can conduct the legal work but her office is 400miles away.
The primary upside of using a local Callington conveyancing practice is that you can pop in to execute documents, present your ID and pester them if necessary. They will also have local intelligence which is a plus. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who instructed your friend and the majority were impressed that must surpass using an unfamiliar Callington conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being Callington based.
