Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Liskeard

I am selling my apartment in Liskeard and the EA has just e-mailed to warn that the purchasers are switching property lawyer. The reason given is that the bank will only engage with solicitors on their conveyancing panel. Why would a major mortgage company only engage with specific law firms rather the firm that they want to choose for their conveyancing in Liskeard ?

Lenders have always had panels of law firms they are willing to work with, but in the past few years big names such as Yorkshire Building Society, have considered and reduced their conveyancing panel– in some cases removing conveyancing firms who have worked with them for more than 15 years.

Lending institutions justify this action to a rise in fraud as the reason for the reduction – criteria have been tightened as a smaller panel is easier to maintain. Banks tend not to disclose how many solicitors have been dropped, claiming the information is commercially sensitive, but the Law Society claims that it is being contacted daily by practices that have been removed from panels. Some do not even realise they have been dropped until contacted by a borrower who has instructed them as might be the situation in your buyers' case. The purchasers are not going to have any impact on this.

I am about to put an offer on a leasehold property in Liskeard. The property agents assure me that it is normal for flats in Liskeard to have less than 75 years remaining. I am getting a loan with Platform. Will the property be mortgageable given that the lease has 72 years to go.

Most leasehold conveyancing experts should be able to deal with a lease extension. if you are securing a mortgage then your lender may insist that the lease be extended before competition. Platform have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook in relation to minimum unexpired lease terms. As of 9/3/2026 the requirements read as follows :

Minimum 85 years unexpired from completion, except where the mortgage application is pursuant to Platform's participation in the Government's Help to Buy Shared Equity scheme, in which case (a) the unexpired lease term must not be less than 250 years for new-build houses and not less than 125 years for new-build flats and (b) ground rent must be reasonable at all times and any escalation must be linked to RPI (Retail Price Index) or a similar index.

I require expedited conveyancing in Liskeard as I am under pressure to sign on the dotted line in less than one month. A mortgage is not required. Is it possible to decline from having conveyancing searches to save money and time?

As you are not taking a home loan you are at free not to have searches carried out although no solicitor would recommend that you don't. Drawing on our experience of conveyancing in Liskeard the following are instances of issues that can arise and adversely affect market value: Refused Planning Applications, Overdue Charges, Overdue Grants, Unadopted Roads,...

Have purchased a a detached house in Liskeard , how long will it take for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My Liskeard conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to check that my name is recorded.

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Liskeard registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry have to notify any third persons or bodies. As of today in the region of three quarters of submission are completed within two weeks but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Registration occurs after the new owner has moved in to the premises so an expedited registration is not always primary concern yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers must speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

How does conveyancing in Liskeard differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Liskeard come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because developers in Liskeard tend to purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Liskeard or who has acted in the same development.

I was recommended by a number of property agents in Liskeard to locate a property lawyer on your site. Is there a financial upside for Estate Agents to promote your site over another?

We don’t give any referral fee for pointing buyers and sellers in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand a fee because home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
