I am need of leasehold conveyancing for a flat in a relatively new development (6 years built) in Marazion. 95% of the appartments are already sold. Do I need carry out the neighbourhood searches for my conveyancing in Marazion?
You are taking a significant risk in failing carrying out Marazion conveyancing searches. Without searches you have no clarity over flooding, environmental etc which may mean you walk away due to potential problems down the line. If you are buying without a mortgage there is no legal necessity to have them, but we would absolutely advise in the strongest possible terms that you have them. Where accelerating the process and driving down costs are top of your concerns you should consider with your conveyancer about the options such as lack of search insurance available to you
Do lenders provide you with an approved list of Marazion conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel?
Marazion conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Leeds Building Society directly.
I have todaybeen informed that Stirling Law have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Marazion for a purchase of a freehold house 18 months ago. How can I establish that my home is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?

The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. 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.
We're FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the selling agent has warned us that the owners will only issue a contract if we use the agent's chosen conveyancers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a family solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in Marazion
It is highly unlikely the owners are behind this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Try to communicate with the vendors directly and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with finances in place © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to use your preferred Marazion conveyancing firm - not the ones that will earn the estate agent a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by senior management.
Me and my husband have just had an offer agreed on a apartment and had meeting on Wednesday with Leeds Building Society for the mortgage. They warned me that when it comes to appointing a lawyer that unless they are on their approved list of conveyancing practitioners then we will incur an additional fee of £200. This is is due to the fact that they will then have to instruct a solicitor to act for them as well as the one we choose to act for ourselves and we are liable for their invoice. I have asked Leeds Building Society to send me with a list so I can seek estimates only from their approved conveyancers but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. Is there a simple way of finding out who is on a lender panel?
Ask Leeds Building Society what their panel criteria is for a conveyancer.Thereafter ask the conveyancing practitioner of your choice whether they meet the criteria and have they acted on mortgages for Leeds Building Society previously. Where the answer to those is yes, then just double check with Leeds Building Society. Another option is to use our search facility and we may be able to locate a solicitor in Marazion on the panel for Leeds Building Society.
