What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Newton Abbot? Is this really warranted?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to verify the identification documents of the potential client they are dealing with prior to agreeing to accepting their conveyancing instruction. The Terms and Conditions that you need to sign will no doubt reaffirm this. Your lender will also require certain documents to be viewed. Should you refuse to supply ID verification documents, your lawyer would not be able to accept instructions from you.
I have been told that property searches are the number one cause of stalling in Newton Abbot house deals. Is this right?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the determinations of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the most frequent causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Local searches are not likely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Newton Abbot.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my home can not be found. The lawyers who conducted the conveyancing in Newton Abbot 5 years ago no longer exist. What do I do?
As long as you have a registered title the information relating to your proprietorship will be held by HMLR with a Title Number. It is possible to conduct a search at the Land Registry, identify your property and obtain current copies of the Registered Entries for less than a fiver. Where the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases hold a certified copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for £20 inclusive of VAT.
How does conveyancing in Newton Abbot differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Newton Abbot contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because new home sellers in Newton Abbot typically purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Newton Abbot or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Newton Abbot is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Newton Abbot are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Newton Abbot you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Newton Abbot may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
