Do commercial conveyancing searches reveal impending roadworks that could affect a commercial property in Dawlish?
Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Dawlish will execute a SiteSolutions Highways report as it reduces the time that conveyancers spend in investigating accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Dawlish. The report sets out definitive information on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Dawlish.
For every commercial conveyancing transaction in Dawlish it is crucial to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site.

I own a semi-detached Victorian house in Dawlish. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Santander. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the matching address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Dawlish and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the work.
How does conveyancing in Dawlish differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Dawlish come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because house builders in Dawlish typically 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 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 used to new build conveyancing in Dawlish or who has acted in the same development.

My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the agent advised that the seller will only issue a contract if we instruct the agent's preferred conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Dawlish
We suspect that the seller is not behind this request. Should the vendor want ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine buyer is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the owners direct and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to appoint your own,trusted Dawlish conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthose that will provide the estate agent a commission or achieve conveyancing figures set by senior management.
