Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Dawlish

My best friend’s brother is a solicitor. I hope that I'll be able to get mate’s pricing for conveyancing, but if not, what kind of figure would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in Dawlish?

It’s sensible to request 3 or more like-for-like conveyancing estimates. Do use our comparison tool on this site. The fees will be different but service levels do differ between solicitors as is the case with most professions.

Is there a list of Lloyds panel conveyancers in Dawlish on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?

Unfortunately not yet. There is no such directory service on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association websites. A small selection of lending institutions make their panel listings viewable over the internet. Where you are in need of a Dawlish conveyancing practitioner on the Lloyds please use our facility.

I'm in the process of viewing houses in Dawlish and I am about to put in an offer. Should I already have a conveyancing practitioner in place at this point? I intend to finance via a mortgage with Virgin Money.

You should start obtaining conveyancing estimates from solicitors ASAP. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the estate agent. Given that you are taking out a mortgage with Virgin Money, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with RBS. I assume I don't need a Dawlish lawyer on the RBS panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

If you have finished paying off your RBS mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the RBS mortgage from the register. RBS, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where RBS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. RBS has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your RBS mortgage has been paid off.

Various internet forums that I have visited warn that are the number one cause of delay in Dawlish conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the conclusions of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the common causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Searches are not likely to feature in any delay in conveyancing in Dawlish.

Do you have any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Dawlish with the purpose of saving time on the sale process?

  • A significant proportion of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Dawlish can be avoided if you get in touch lawyers the minute your agents start marketing the property and ask them to collate the leasehold information needed by the purchasers’ representatives.
    • If you have carried out any alterations to the premises would they have required Landlord’s permission? In particular have you installed wooden flooring? Dawlish leases often stipulate that internal structural alterations or addition of wooden flooring require a licence issued by the Landlord approving such changes. If you fail to have the consents in place do not communicate with the landlord without checking with your lawyer in the first instance. Some Dawlish leases require Landlord’s consent to the sale and approval of the buyers. If this applies to your lease, it would be prudent to place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers obtain bank and professional references. Any bank reference should make it clear that the buyer is able to meet the yearly service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the buyers or their lawyers. If you have the benefit of shareholding in the freehold, you should make sure that you hold the original share certificate. Obtaining a replacement share certificate can be a time consuming formality and delays many a Dawlish conveyancing deal. If a new share certificate is required, you should approach the company officers or managing agents (if relevant) for this sooner rather than later.

Dawlish Leasehold Conveyancing - Sample of Queries Prior to Purchasing

    You should be aware if it is no more than 80 years it will affect the marketability of the flat. Check with your lender that they are content with remaining years on the lease. A short lease means that you will most likely have to extend the lease at some point and you need to have some idea of what this will be. Remember, in most cases you would be required to have owned the residence for two years in order to be entitled to carry out a lease extension. What prohibitions exist in the Dawlish Lease? Who is in charge of the building?
