I am acquiring a newly built apartment in Callington and my conveyancer is informing me that she is duty bound to the bank to disclose incentives from the builder. I am under pressure to sign contracts and my preference is not to prolong matters. is my lawyer playing by the book?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your property lawyer. A precondition to being on a bank panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.
How up to date is your search tool for Callington conveyancing solicitors on the RBS conveyancing panel? Do RBS send you an updated list?

I have an AIP. The lender mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to instruct their panel solicitor as I would prefer to use a local conveyancing solicitor in Callington?
You should check but the the probability is that give you one of their panel solicitors should you accept the "fee-free" deal. Call the mortgage company and determine if they offer you a monetary alternative. Some mortgage companies have previously offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case you could put that amount towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor near Callington.
There are a variety of conveyancing solicitors in Callington but how do I know who's good?
We would encourage you not to base your choice on the lowest Callington conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of time.
We are due to move home in April. Does my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Callington. Conveyancing lawyer was organised before I stumbled across this website.
On the afternoon of completion you can collect the keys from your selling agent however this can only take place when the vendors solicitors advise the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be released. You should tell the removal men that they can start moving you in. We do not suggest a specific removal company but can help you find a conveyancing in Callington or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Callington.
We previously instructed conveyancing lawyers with offices in Callington on the Kent Reliance solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a separate charge for the legal aspects of the Kent Reliance mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Kent Reliance?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your conveyancer may charge a fee for this. The fee is not set by Kent Reliance but by your Callington lawyer. Some firms on the Kent Reliance panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.

Helen (my wife) and I may need to rent out our Callington garden flat temporarily due to a new job. We used a Callington conveyancing firm in 2004 but they have closed and we did not have the foresight to seek any guidance as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
Your lease dictates relations between the landlord and you the flat owner; in particular, it will set out if subletting is banned, or permitted but only subject to certain conditions. The rule is that if the lease contains no specific ban or restriction, subletting is permitted. Most leases in Callington do not prevent an absolute prevention of subletting – such a provision would adversely affect the market value the property. Instead, there is usually simply a requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly supplying a copy of the tenancy agreement.
