Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Crewkerne

I am nearing an exchange on a property in Crewkerne and my parents have transferred the ten percent deposit to my lawyer. I am now advised that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my property lawyer needs to make a notification to my lender. Apparently, in also acting for the mortgage company he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I informed the lender concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?

Your solicitor is legally required to clarify with lender to ensure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only notify this to your bank if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

How does conveyancing in Crewkerne differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Crewkerne come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because developers in Crewkerne usually purchase the real estate, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Crewkerne or who has acted in the same development.

I opted to have a survey completed on a house in Crewkerne ahead of appointing conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. Our surveyor advised that some lenders may refuse to grant a mortgage on a flying freehold home.

It varies from the lender to lender. Santander has different instructions for example to Halifax. If you contact us we can look into this further via the relevant mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Crewkerne. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.

How can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my commercial premises in Crewkerne and how can you help?

The particular law that you refer to affords protection to commercial leaseholders, granting the legal entitlement to make a request to court for a new tenancy and remain in occupation when the lease reaches an end. There are certain specified grounds that a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are involved. We are happy to direct you to commercial conveyancing solicitors who use the act for protection and help with commercial conveyancing in Crewkerne

Should I go with a Crewkerne conveyancing lawyer who is local to the property I am buying? I have an old university friend who can conduct the legal formalities however her office is 400miles away.

The primary upside of using a local Crewkerne conveyancing practice is that you can drop in to sign paperwork, hand in your identification documents and apply pressure on them where appropriate. Having local Crewkerne know how is a plus. However it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If other friends have used your friend and on the whole were happy that must trump using an unfamiliar Crewkerne conveyancing solicitor just because they are based in the area.

Been reading online that Crewkerne solicitors are more expensive than Crewkerne conveyancers in Crewkerne when it comes to purchasing a house. So is it better if I use a conveyancer or a solicitor if I am purchasing a house in Crewkerne.

When it comes to conveyancing in Crewkerne the costs are unlikely to vary dramatically depending on whether the legal expert is a licenced conveyancer or solicitor.
