It is is a decade since I acquired my home in Paignton. Conveyancing solicitors have now been retained on the sale but I can't find my deeds. Is this a problem?

You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be retained by your lender or they may be in the possession of the solicitor who handled your purchase. Secondly in all probability the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Paignton relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

We are purchasing a flat in Paignton. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a conveyancer? At some point we have to send funds into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our money?

Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.

Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always suggest that you speak with the lawyer conducting your transaction.

How does conveyancing in Paignton differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Paignton come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because house builders in Paignton tend to buy 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 used to new build conveyancing in Paignton or who has acted in the same development.

I was advised by a number of property agents in Paignton to find a solicitor using your seach tool. What’s the financial advantage for Estate Agents to offer your site over alternative conveyancing organisations?

We don’t offer any commission for pointing buyers and sellers to this site. We thought it would be too underhand a fee as a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.

This site is not designed to help in pursuit of a cheap conveyancing in Paignton. Our goal is to offer value for money conveyancing but our intention is not to advertise as being the cheapest. Do not be fooled by brokers offering low cost conveyancing in Paignton.At best, in opting for cheap conveyancing, you will get what you pay for and at worst you will end up paying a lot in additional fee and still not get the service you were hoping for.
