What is the difference between a licensed conveyancer and conveyancing solicitor in Charmouth

Two types of professional can execute conveyancing in Charmouth namely CLC regulated conveyancers or solicitors.

We had selected solicitors locally in Charmouth on the Nationwide solicitor panel. They are now charging me a supplemental fee for handling the Nationwide mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Nationwide?

As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your solicitor may levy a fee for this. The fee is not set by Nationwide but by your Charmouth conveyancer. Numerous firms on the Nationwide panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but plenty of practices incorporate it on their overall fee.

After what seems like an age I have had an offer on a maisonette in Charmouth agreed to, but there is a chain. The owners have placed an offer on a property, however it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other apartments booked. I have selected a high street conveyancing solicitor in Charmouth. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with Kent Reliance started?

It is normal to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Charmouth conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your lawyer is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. Regarding the subsequent steps this very much depends on the circumstances of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a hot market the majority of home buyers would apply for a home loan with Kent Reliance and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their conveyancing practitioner to press on with searches.

I am purchasing a new build house in Charmouth with a mortgage from Nationwide Building Society. The developers would not budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The sale representative told me not reveal to my lawyer about this side-deal as it will jeopardize my mortgage with Nationwide Building Society. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on last month in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Charmouth is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Charmouth are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Charmouth you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Charmouth may decide 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 property.

My step-father has urged me to instruct his conveyancers in Charmouth. Should I choose my own solicitor?

There are no two ways about it the best way to select a conveyancing lawyer is to seek feedback from friends or relatives who have used the conveyancer you're contemplating using.
