Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Lynmouth

Just contacted my conveyancing lawyer in Lynmouth who conducted the legals two years ago requesting a conveyancing quote based on the same type of house move (a leasehold property and a freehold property) of similar values with a loan from Alliance & Leicester . I am now being quoted twice the amount. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for an alternative property lawyer?

The quote is slightly on the steep side. If you are happy to spend time contrasting quotes you may be able to trim some of the cost by as much as £125. On the other hand, if you were pleased with the legal work the firm provided you mightlive to regret opting for an an untested solicitor. Don't forget to ensure the solicitor can also act for Alliance & Leicester .

My Lynmouth lawyer has uncovered an inconsistency between the information in the valuation survey and what is revealed within the legal papers for the property. My lawyer says that he is obliged to ensure that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my lawyer’s approach correct?

Your conveyancing practitioner must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.

There are numerous conveyancing solicitors in Lynmouth but how do I know who's good?

It would be unwise to be swayed by the cheapest Lynmouth conveyancing quote. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in advance.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Clydesdale. I assume I don't need a Lynmouth lawyer on the Clydesdale panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

If you have finished paying off your Clydesdale mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Clydesdale mortgage from the register. Clydesdale, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where Clydesdale has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Clydesdale has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Clydesdale mortgage has been paid off.

Our offer on a semi in Lynmouth has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The sellers have placed an offer on a flat, but it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other apartments booked. I have chosen a local conveyancing solicitor in Lynmouth. What do I do now? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with Nottingham?

It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (mortgage application is approx £1k, then valuation, Lynmouth conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you should check that your lawyer is on the Nottingham approved list. Regarding the next phase this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market some purchasers will apply for the mortgage with Nottingham and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their lawyer to press on with searches.

This is due to the fact that on completion the money will pass between the banks of the purchaser and owner’s property lawyer and currently this can only take place on a business day. So you can't complete on a weekend either.
