I was advised today by my financial adviser that my Leamouth the law firm I have appointed is not on the lender Solicitor panel. How can I be sure that this is correct?
You need to contact your Leamouth conveyancer. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to inform you of the situation. If they are not on the panel they may recommend you to a Leamouth conveyancing firm that is on the conveyancing panel for your mortgage company.
My wife and I are buying a house in Leamouth. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a lawyer? On completion day we will need to put money into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our money?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
I am the only recipient of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Leamouth. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in July. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the house in July. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be impacted by that. Most lenders would take a pragmatic view as this obligation primarily exists to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of property.
Planning on purchasing a flat in Leamouth. 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 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 Leamouth solicitor is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel.
2 months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Leamouth completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I am buying a new build apartment in Leamouth. Conveyancing is a frightening process 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.

Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? 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. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Please supply a car parking plan. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Leamouth I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Leamouth suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
