I have given 2 months notice to my existing landlord and must vacate my rented flat in Penryn by 30/1/2025. Conveyancing on my purchase is underway. Can I complete in 4 weeks as I wish to avoid having to find short term accommodation?
The normal practice is not to serve notice for your tenancy unless you have exchanged. Assuming that you have not already done so, update to your lawyer and urge them to they seek the assistance the owners solicitors, try to get a realistic time scale from them that everyone will look to achieve
We are looking to buy a flat and require a conveyancing solicitor in Penryn who is on the Clydesdale approved panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a solicitor?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Clydesdale . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Penryn.
We are purchasing a victorian detached house in Penryn. We would like to convert the garage to an office at the house.Will legal investigations on the property include checks to determine if these works were previously refused?
Your solicitor should review the deeds as conveyancing in Penryn will occasionally identify restrictions in the title deeds which restrict categories of alterations or require the consent of another owner. Certain works require local authority planning consent and approval in compliance with building regulations. Many areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions. It would be prudent to check these issues with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Yorkshire BS. I assume I don't need a Penryn solicitor on the Yorkshire BS panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Yorkshire BS mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Yorkshire BS mortgage from the register. Yorkshire BS, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Yorkshire BS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Yorkshire BS has instructed the Land Registry to do so
My offer was accepted on a house in Penryn on 7/11/2024, valuation was booked 3 days after, all came back fine. Conveyancer appointed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Clydesdale and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Clydesdale to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I am buying a property and the solicitor has mentioned Chancel Repair to which the property may be obligated to contribute to as it falls into the area of such a church. She has recommended insurance. Is this really required for conveyancing in Penryn
Unless a previous purchase of the premises took place after 12 October 2013 you can expect solicitors handling conveyancing in Penryn to continue to propose a a chancel search and or chancel repair liability policy.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up as part of conveyancing in Penryn?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Penryn. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
I was told by my lender that their panel lawyers work on no completion no charge basis for conveyancing in Penryn. I had a purchase abort yet the conveyancers have invoiced for search fees! They are stating that the fees are seperate!
Penryn conveyancing search charges are separate expenses not solicitors costs as these are due to a third party.
