Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Crediton

Is it realistic for conveyancing in Crediton to be done within 28 days?

In the event that you are under a tight deadline for your conveyancing it is advisable to make sure that your lawyer is familiar with the location as they will benefit local relationships and knowledge. It is even conceivable that they may have transacted otherproperties in the same street. Therefore consider using a Crediton conveyancing firm. In addition, make sure that the lawyer is on the member panel. It is estimated that nearly one in five of Crediton conveyancing transactions are held up or derailed after finding out that a buyer’s solicitor was not on their mortgage lender’s panel. This can often result in the home move being frustrated by almost three weeks. It is said that this issue affects in the region of one hundred thousand home sales every year. Most Crediton conveyancing firms can not represent certain lenders so do check at the outset.

Why do I have to pay up front when it comes to conveyancing in Crediton?

Where you are retaining lawyers for conveyancing in Crediton your solicitor will request that you place them with funds to cover the search fees. Normally this is requested to cover the fees of the conveyancing searches. When the deposit is payable against the total price then this will be asked for immediately before exchange of contracts. Any further balance that is due will be payable a few days prior to the completion date.

I am buying a end of terrace house in Crediton. We would like to carry out a loft conversion at the property.Will the conveyancing process include enquiries to determine if these alterations were previously refused?

Your solicitor will review the deeds as conveyancing in Crediton will on occasion identify restrictions in the title documents which prevent categories of alterations or necessitated the permission of a 3rd party. Certain additions require local authority planning consent and approval in compliance with building regulations. Many areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions. It would be prudent to check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.

Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Santander. Crediton conveyancing lawyers have been appointed. How long does it take for Santander to send the offer to the property lawyer?

There is no definitive answer here. Have Santander completed the survey? Have you advised Santander as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Santander conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

I have recentlybecome aware that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Crediton for a purchase of a freehold house 10 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?

The easiest way to check if the property is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Crediton conveyancing specialists.

I am buying a new build house in Crediton benefiting from help to buy. The builders refused to budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep advised me not disclose to my lawyer about the extras as it may put at risk my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.

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%.
