At what point will exchange of contracts take place for residential conveyancing in Camborne and am I required to be at the conveyancers branch?
If you are near to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Camborne you are invited in to sign documents. That being said, the law practices we recommend provide a countrywide conveyancing service and give just as diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The signing of the sale agreement is not the important part. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the solicitor to exchange contracts when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Camborne)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
My aunt passed away 10 months ago and as sole heir and executor I was left the property in Camborne. The house had a relatively small loan remaining of approximately £5k. I want to transfer the title deeds into my name whilst I re-mortgage to UBS, pay off the mortgage. Is this allowed?
Given you intend to re-mortgage then UBS will insist on your using a conveyancer on the UBS conveyancing panel. Here is link to the Land Registry online guidance around what to do when a property owner dies. This will help you to understand the registration process behind changing the details re the registered title. in your case it would appear that you are effectively purchasing the property from the estate. Your UBS conveyancing panel solicitor pays the new mortgage money into the estate, the estate pays off the old mortgage, the charge is released and you become the owner and the UBS mortgage is registered as a charge at the Land Registry.
Do I choose a Licenced Conveyancer or Solicitor for conveyancing in Camborne?

I happen to be the only beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Camborne. The Camborne property was put into my name in December. I want to move. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship may be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the property in December. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook mandates solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be caught by that. many mortgage companies would take a practical view as this provision chiefly exists to identify subsales or the quick reselling of property.
We had selected solicitors with offices in Camborne on the Yorkshire BS solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me a further fee for handling the Yorkshire BS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Yorkshire BS?
Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your lawyer may levy a fee for this. This fee is not set by Yorkshire BS but by your Camborne solicitor. Some firms on the Yorkshire BS panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee but some practices include it on their overall fee.
It has been four months since my purchase conveyancing in Camborne concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
How does conveyancing in Camborne differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Camborne approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because developers in Camborne tend to acquire the site, 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 property lawyers 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 Camborne or who has acted in the same development.
