We are due to move house in June. Does my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Exmouth. Conveyancing solicitor was found prior to coming across your website.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to pick up the keys from the estate agent but this can only take place once the previous owners lawyers advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be collected. Subsequently you should inform the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a specific removal organisation but can help you choose a residential property solicitor in Exmouth or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Exmouth.
My husband and I are spending time looking at houses in Exmouth and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it too early to have a solicitor in place? I intend to finance via a home loan with Clydesdale.
It would be prudent to start your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the estate agent. As you are obtaining a mortgage with Clydesdale, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.

Your estate agent will wish to be informed of your conveyancer's details (ensure that the conveyancing practitioners are on the bank’s panel).

The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Exmouth.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Exmouth benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The sale representative told me not reveal to my lawyer about this extras as it could put at risk my loan with The Royal Bank of Scotland. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Exmouth is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Exmouth are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Exmouth you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Exmouth may decide 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 residence.
