Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Martock

I have an AIP. The lender mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to instruct their panel solicitor as I would prefer to appoint a Martock based conveyancing firm?

You should check but the chances are that appoint one of their panel lawyers where you accept the "fee-free" offer. Call the lender and see if they make available a cash alternative. Some lenders have previously offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case that money can go towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor in Martock.

I am buying a 4 bedroom semi-detached house in Martock. The intention is to carry out an extension to the side at the property.Will legal work on the property include investigations to ascertain if these alterations are allowed?

Your conveyancer should check the registered title as conveyancing in Martock can sometimes identify restrictions in the title deeds which restrict categories of alterations or necessitated the consent of a 3rd party. Some additions call for local authority planning permissions and approval in compliance with building regulations. Many areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.

is it true that all Martock solicitor firms on the Principality conveyancing panel are overseen by the SRA?

As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Principality approved list of solicitors they would need to be governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Some lenders do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such organisation would be regulated by the CLC.

We were going to get a DIP from TSB 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 TSB recommend any Martock solicitors on the TSB conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?

You will need to appoint Martock solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the TSB conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and TSB through the process.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Martock I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Martock in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?

Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.

I was recommended by numerous property agents in Martock to find a solicitor on your site. Is there a financial upside for Estate Agents to market your site over another?

We refuse to offer any financial incentive for sending work in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission as members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.

My cousin has recommend that I appoint his conveyancers in Martock. Should I use them?

No doubt the ideal way to select a conveyancing lawyer is to seek referrals from friends or relatives who have used the conveyancer you're contemplating using.

Our conveyancing solicitor in Martock has requested from me ID documents stating that this forms part of his legal duty as a solicitor on the bank Solicitor panel. This is news to me - can I refuse?

Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules require Martock conveyancing solicitors and licensed conveyancers to verify the identity of the person or body they are dealing with before they can accept their conveyancing business. The Client Care letter that you need to sign will no doubt confirm this. Your lawyer is right that the lender also require certain documents to be viewed. If a you refuse to provide ID verification documents, your conveyancer would not be able to accept instructions from you. Your lawyer also has obligations to obtain certain documents in accordance with the mortgage company's UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements
