We expect to receive a OIP from Lloyds this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Lloyds recommend any Lynmouth solicitors on the Lloyds conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Lynmouth solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Lloyds through the process.
Completion of my purchase has taken place for my property in Lynmouth. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?
Almost all banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Department at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are resolved effectively and efficiently. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service who will take matters further.
I recently had an offer accepted on a house in Lynmouth. My financial adviser suggested a conveyancing practitioner. I paid an advanced payment of £150. Shortly after, the lawyer contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the HSBC conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the HSBC panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
I have recentlyfound out that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Lynmouth for a purchase of a freehold house 10 months ago. How can I check that my home is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest method to see if the premises is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Lynmouth conveyancing specialists.

I’m about to sell my 2 bed flat in Lynmouth. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have recently had a yearly maintenance charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
It best that you discharge the service charge as you normally would because all ground rent and maintenance charges should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
