Having sold my house in Paignton last July but our buyer keeps calling every few hours complaining that his lawyer is waiting to hear from mine. What should have happened now that I have sold?
Post completion of your house sale your lawyer should deliver the transfer deeds and all of the paperwork to the purchaser's conveyancer. If applicable, your solicitor should also confirm that the mortgage has been discharged to the buyers lawyers. There is unlikely to be post completion formalities unique to conveyancing in Paignton.

How does conveyancing in Paignton differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Paignton contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because developers in Paignton typically purchase the land, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Paignton or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in last month in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Paignton is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Paignton are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Paignton you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Paignton may ascertain 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 property.
