Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Newquay

Can you recommend a Lloyds TSB Bank approved Newquay conveyancing solicitor finish our house move within 10 days? Would it be better to use a local Newquay conveyancer or a factory type conveyancer?

We would be happy to suggest some excellent Newquay conveyancing firms. You can also walk up the main road in Newquay.

Appoint the lawyer that you trust.

The Newquay conveyancing firm that I recently instructed on my purchase in Newquay have without warning closed. I only went with them because I had to have a solicitor on the TSB conveyancing panel and my family Newquay lawyer was not. I sent them a cheque for £250 in advance. What do I do now?

Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then let them know immediately so that they can let the sellers know that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. Most sellers would be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the TSB conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new solicitors should be in a position to help.

A colleague informed me that in purchasing a property in Newquay there could be a number of restrictions prohibiting external alterations to a property. Is this right?

There are a number of properties in Newquay which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to perform external changes. Part of the conveyancing in Newquay should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.

Can I be sure that the Newquay conveyancing solicitor on the Aldermore panel is any good?

When it comes to conveyancing in Newquay getting recommendations is a sensible start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always recommend that you speak with the solicitor handling your conveyancing.

My fiancee and I are in the throws of viewing houses in Newquay and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it wise to have a solicitor on ‘stand by’? I will be getting a home loan with Nottingham.

It would be advisable to start your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the EA. As you are taking out a mortgage with Nottingham, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel.

I'm buying my first flat in Newquay with a loan from The Royal Bank of Scotland. The developers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The house builders rep advised me not disclose to my lawyer about the deal as it would put at risk my loan with The Royal Bank of Scotland. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I decided to have a survey carried out on a house in Newquay before appointing solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. The surveyor advised that some banks will not grant a mortgage on such a property.

It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different requirements for example to Halifax. Should you wish to call us we can check via the relevant bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Newquay. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.

I'm purchasing a apartment in Newquay. I can find my conveyancer's company on the Law Society's list, but I can't see my lawyer's name as listed on the regulator's website. Should I be concerned?

Not all staff in the law firm must be listed by the regulator. Provided there is a manager qualified to 'oversee' the transaction, the actual day-to-day activity can be undertaken by unlicensed staff.
