Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Crewkerne

My IFA has requested my Crewkerne lawyer’ panel reference for the Nat West conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I obtain this. I have contacted my local Crewkerne office but they don't know it.

You are best placed to get this information from your Crewkerne conveyancing practitioner . Most Crewkerne law firms will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each mortgage company.

We were just about to exchange contracts for a ground floor flat in Crewkerne. We have hit a snag. The mortgage offer with TSB expires on 15/12/2025 but the sellers are suggesting a completion date of 17/12/2025. Is it possible to extend the mortgage expiry date?

The best person to address this concern is your solicitors who should calculate if they better off negotiating with the mortgage company, vendor’s lawyers, selling agents or indeed all parties taking into account what has happend in your conveyancing to date.

How does conveyancing in Crewkerne differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Crewkerne come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because new home sellers in Crewkerne typically purchase 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 conveyancers 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Crewkerne or who has acted in the same development.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Crewkerne I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Crewkerne suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?

If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.

I am looking into buying my first house which is in Crewkerne and I am already nervous. I couldn't find anything specific about Crewkerne. Conveyancing will be needed in due course but do you know about the Crewkerne area? or perhaps some other tips you can share?

Rather than looking online forget looking online you should go and have a look at Crewkerne. In the meantime here are some basic statistics that we found
