Last April we completed a house move in Penryn. We have since encountered a number of issues with the house which we believe were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? What searches should? have been ordered for conveyancing in Penryn?
The question is not clear as to the nature of the problems and if they are relate to conveyancing in Penryn. Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated during the legal transfer of property are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a seller fills in a form called a SPIF. If the information is inaccurate, you may have a misrepresentation claim against the vendor for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Penryn.
It is 10 years ago since I purchased my home in Penryn. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been appointed on the sale but I can't track down the title deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
Don’t worry too much. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be retained by the mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the conveyancers who oversaw the purchase. Secondly the chances are that the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Penryn relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is unregistered it is more tricky but is not insurmountable.
I am helping my mother sell her flat in Penryn. Will the conveyancing solicitor arrange the energy assessment or should I organise this?
After the abolition of Home Information Packs, energy performance certificates became a compulsory component of selling a house. An energy assessment must be to hand before the property is advertised. This is not something that conveyancers ordinarily organise. If you are using a Penryn conveyancing practitioner they may be able to arrange energy performance certificates given their contacts with long established local providers
My uncle advised me that in purchasing a property in Penryn there could be a number of restrictions as to what one can do in terms of external changes to a property. Is this right?
We are aware of a number of properties in Penryn which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to external changes. Part of the conveyancing in Penryn should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.
We are planning to move property in August. Will my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Penryn. Conveyancing lawyer was organised before I stumbled across this website.
On the afternoon of completion you can collect the keys from your property agent however this should only be done after the previous owners solicitors inform the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be released. After that you should inform the removal men that they can start moving you in. We do not suggest a specific removal organisation but can assist you in choosing a conveyancing in Penryn or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Penryn.

As co-executor for the will of my aunt I am disposing of a residence in Swansea but I am based in Penryn. My conveyancer (who is 260 kilometers awayhas requested that I sign a statutory declaration ahead of completion. Could you suggest a conveyancing lawyer in Penryn who can witness this legal document for me?
strictly speaking you are not likely to be required to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily any notary public or qualified solicitor will do regardless of whether they are based in Penryn
I am attracted to a couple of apartments in Penryn which have in the region of fifty years unexpired on the leases. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?
There are plenty of short leases in Penryn. The lease is a right to use the property for a prescribed time frame. As a lease shortens the value of the lease reduces and results in it becoming more expensive to acquire a lease extension. For this reason it is generally wise to increase the term of the lease. Sometimes it is difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease because mortgage lenders less inclined to grant a loan on such properties. Lease extension can be a difficult process. We recommend you seek professional assistance from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this field.
I invested in buying a basement flat in Penryn, conveyancing was carried out 7 years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Similar flats in Penryn with over 90 years remaining are worth £190,000. The ground rent is £45 levied per year. The lease ends on 21st October 2087
With only 62 years unexpired the likely cost is going to range between £17,100 and £19,800 as well as professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more detailed investigations. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
