I instructed a high street firm for my conveyancing in Exmouth last week. Reviewing the Terms and Conditions I seeI am responsible for costs even if the movefalls through. Should I ditch them and choose a web based firm who offer no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Exmouth?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will tend to be be more expensive to counteract the cases that do not go ahead. You should be mindful that these schemes rarely protect you from expenses by way of example Exmouth conveyancing search charges.
Why is leasehold purchase conveyancing in Exmouth costs more?
Exmouth leasehold properties involve far more paperwork than a freehold purchase, and therefore takes more time to examine and advise upon.Conveyancing will involve the lease having to be checked which is usually a lengthy document, queries raised to ensure that the covenants and conditions have been observed.

Is it correct that all Exmouth CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel?
A selection of lenders now utilise CQS as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. CQS membership however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to remain on their approved list of firms.
I'm in the process of viewing apartments in Exmouth and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it premature to have a solicitor in place? I am planning to take a home loan with Kent Reliance.
You should start requesting conveyancing quotes 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 contact information on to the selling agent. As you are obtaining a mortgage with Kent Reliance, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
Intending to buy a maisonette in Exmouth. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Co-operative 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 Exmouth solicitor is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel.
I got the keys to my flat on 4 May and my personal details is yet to be registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Exmouth advises it should be registered in a couple of weeks. Are properties in Exmouth particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Exmouth registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any interested parties. Currently roughly 80% of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays. Historically registration occurs after the purchaser has moved in to the property therefore post completion formalities is not usually an essential issue but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
I'm buying my first flat in Exmouth with a loan from The Mortgage Works. The sellers would not budge the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
