We went with a Exeter based solicitor for our conveyancing in Exeter recently. Reviewing the fine print I seewe are liable for costs even where the transaction does not complete. Would I be best advised to instruct a web based firm advertising no move no charge conveyancing in Exeter?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will generally be more expensive to cover the transactions that do not proceed. You should be mindful that such offerings rarely protect you from outlay for instance Exeter conveyancing search expenses.
Do the conveyancing lawyers that are recommend conduct auction conveyancing in Exeter?
There are a few auction solicitors we can connect you with those conducting auction conveyancing. Exeter is one of our locations where our lawyers have offices.
My solicitor has informed me that restrictive coveneant insurance is required on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Exeter?
The right level of restrictive coveneant indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between HSBC Bank and Coventry Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.
We had selected conveyancing lawyers located in Exeter on the Santander solicitor panel. They are now charging me a further sum for the legal aspects of the Santander mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Santander?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your property lawyer may charge a fee for this. This charge is not set by Santander but by your Exeter property lawyer. Some firms on the Santander panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
About to purchase maisonette in Exeter. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Exeter property lawyer is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel.
I have justbeen informed that Action Conveyancing have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Exeter for a purchase of a freehold house 18 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest way to see if the property is registered to you, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Exeter conveyancing specialists.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Exeter is the location of the property. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Exeter are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Exeter you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Exeter may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
I have been recommended by numerous selling agents in Exeter to find a solicitor on your site. What’s the financial inducement for Estate Agents to recommend your site rather than another?
We refuse to make any commission for pointing buyers and sellers in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission as home movers will think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
