I had intended to instruct a property lawyer in Chulmleigh for our house move. Our broker informed us that our bank The Royal Bank of Scotland won't deal with them. Surely this is unduly restrictive?
Mortgage Companies tend to restrict either the category or the volume of conveyancing firms on their panel. Typical examples of such restriction(s) being that a firm must have two or more partners. As well as restricting the type of firm, some have limited the amount of solicitor practices they permit to act for them. You should note that The Royal Bank of Scotland have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of The Royal Bank of Scotland Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a primary driver in the rationalisation of solicitor panels a few years ago even though there are mixed opinions regarding the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Data from the Land Registry reveal that plenty of law firms, including some in or near Chulmleigh only carry out a couple conveyances per annum.
I appreciate that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Am I compelled to have this when purchasing a residence in Chulmleigh? or Apparently there is a law dating back centuries that means some house owners living in a parish church boundary may be liable to pay for maintenance towards the chancel in proximity to the church. Is this suitable for conveyancing in Chulmleigh?
Unless a prior purchase of the house completed after 12 October 2013 you can assume that lawyers carrying out conveyancing in Chulmleigh to continue to suggest a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Chulmleigh I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Chulmleigh suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
My husband and I are new to the buying process - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent advised that the vendor will only move forward if we appoint the agent's preferred conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local conveyancer used to conveyancing in Chulmleigh
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this requirement. If they want ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Contact the sellers directly and make the point that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to instruct your preferred Chulmleigh conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will provide their estate agent a commission or hit his conveyancing figures set by corporate headquarters.
