Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Exminster

I am buying a house without a mortgage in Exminster. I have resided for the previous Seventeen years in Exminster. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. Given that I know the road and vicinity intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?

Provided that you do not need a mortgage, then all but one or two of the Exminster conveyancing searches are optional. Your conveyancer will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but he has a professional duty to take that path of encouragement . One thing to take into account; if you are going to sell the house at a future date, it could be of interest to your future purchaser what the searches determine. On occasion houses with day to day issues can still reveal negative search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Exminster will be able to give you some constructive advice concerning this.

We see that you have a search directory listing law firms on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Do firms pay you a commission if I appoint them for our own conveyancing in Exminster?

We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the Skipton conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Exminster.

What is the difference between a licensed conveyancer and conveyancing solicitor in Exminster

There are two types of lawyers who can carry out conveyancing in Exminster namely licenced conveyancers or solicitors. Both professionals administer conveyancing services that required to complete the disposal or acquisition of property. Both are required to carry out Exminster conveyancing to the same standards and guidelines so you can be safe in the knowledge that your conveyancing will be properly carried out and that all requisite procedures will be suitably followed.

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Exminster off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Bank of Ireland. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Bank of Ireland, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel.

I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in November 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, UBS are being problematic. The Exminster solicitor who is on the UBS conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but UBS are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do UBS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that UBS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why UBS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

I have todaybeen informed that Wolstenholmes have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Exminster for a purchase of a freehold house 9 months ago. How can I establish that my home is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?

The quickest way to see if the property is in your name, you can make 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 Exminster conveyancing specialists.
