Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Exmouth

We are purchasing a 2 bedroom apartment in Exmouth with a mortgage. We like our Exmouth solicitor, however the mortgage company advise he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the mortgage company panel conveyancing practices or continue with our Exmouth lawyer as well as pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. This seems very unfair; are we not able to demand that the mortgage company use our Exmouth solicitor ?

No, not really. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your Exmouth conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

We see that you have a search directory listing firms on the RBS conveyancing panel. Do companies pay you a referral fee if I appoint them for our own conveyancing in Exmouth?

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

I am considering applying for a Skipton mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Exmouth with 65 per cent LTV. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Skipton ?

In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Skipton conveyancing panel, but Skipton would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.

Will commercial conveyancing searches reveal impending roadworks that could impact a commercial land in Exmouth?

Many commercial conveyancing solicitors in Exmouth will perform a SiteSolutions Highways report as it reduces the time that conveyancers expend in looking into accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Exmouth. The search result provides definitive information on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Exmouth.

For every commercial conveyancing transaction in Exmouth it is critical to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. Failure to identify developments where adoption procedures have not been addressed adequately may cause delays to Exmouth commercial conveyancing transactions as well as pose a risk to future intentions for the site. These searches are not ordered for domestic conveyancing in Exmouth.

I am buying a new build flat in Exmouth. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.

Here are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Exmouth

    If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Please supply a car parking plan.
