When it comes to mortgage companies such as Lloyds, do Dawlish conveyancing practitioners face a fee to be on the conveyancing panel?

We are not aware of any lender fees to be on their panel, although some do levy an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.

How can we know in advance if a Dawlish conveyancing solicitor on the Aldermore panel is any good?

When it comes to conveyancing in Dawlish seeking recommendations is a good start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always recommend that you speak with the solicitor carrying out your transaction.

Aldermore have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on a apartment in Dawlish has been agreed to, now what?

Your property agent will want to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the property lawyers are on the bank’s approved list). Telephone Aldermore or your broker and finalise any outstanding documentation. Aldermore will sellect a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or owners to schedule a time for the valuation to occur. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes about a fortnight to get a mortgage offer. Aldermore will send the offer to you and your lawyers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Dawlish.

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. The absence of identifying developments where adoption procedures have not been dealt with adequately could cause delays to Dawlish commercial conveyancing transactions as well as present a risk to future intentions for the site. These searches are not carried out for domestic conveyancing in Dawlish.

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.

Are there any apps to assist me to locate a Dawlish solicitor on the Aldermore conveyancing panel? I drive a motor bike and am prepared to travel upto 25miles to meet the conveyancer.

You can use the tool on this page. Please choose the lender and your location and you will see a number of Dawlish conveyancing lawyers located nearest you. We have detailed some Dawlish conveyancing firms towards the end of this page and you can contact them to see if they are on the Aldermore approved list

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.
