I have paid off my mortgage with Nationwide. I assume I don't need a Perranporth conveyancing practitioner on the Nationwide panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Nationwide 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 Nationwide mortgage from the register. Nationwide, 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 Nationwide has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Nationwide has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Perranporth. I have a mortgage agreed with Clydesdale. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Clydesdale, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel.
Skipton have agreed my mortgage in principle, my bid on a flat in Perranporth has been agreed to, now what?
The estate agent will want to be informed of your conveyancing practitioner's details (ensure that the lawyers are on the lender’s approved list). Contact Skipton or your broker and complete any outstanding forms. Skipton will appoint a valuer who will get in touch with the estate agent or seller to schedule a slot for the valuation to occur. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes about ten days for the mortgage offer to be issued. Skipton will send the offer to you and your property lawyers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Perranporth.
Should my conveyancer be raising enquiries concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Perranporth.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors dealing with homes in Perranporth. Some people will buy a property in Perranporth, completely expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical destruction, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or dispose of the property. Steps can be carried out during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Solicitors are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a number of checks that may be undertaken by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which can give them a better understanding of the risks in Perranporth. The conventional set of property information forms supplied to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a usual inquiry of the seller to find out whether the premises has ever been flooded. If flooding has previously occurred and is not revealed by the vendor, then a purchaser may commence a claim for damages as a result of such an misleading reply. A buyer’s lawyers will also conduct an enviro report. This will disclose if there is any known flood risk. If so, additional investigations will need to be conducted.
Just bought a terraced house in Perranporth , how long should it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my proprietorship? My Perranporth conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be sure that my name is recorded.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Perranporth registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any third persons or bodies. At present in the region of three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted delays. Registration occurs after the buyer has moved in to the property therefore an expedited registration is not usually primary concern but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor must contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

Am I right to be concerned that third parties that I am dealing with are suggesting an internet conveyancing firm rather than a High Street Perranporth conveyancing firm?
As with many professional services, often suggestions from relatives can be very helpful. But there are numerous parties with a keen interest in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, mortgage brokers and lenders may put forward solicitors to appoint. Sometimes the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but occasionally there might be a financial incentive behind the endorsement. You are free to choose your preferred lawyer. You need to be aware that some banks specify a panel list of conveyancers you are obliged to use for the lender aspect of your conveyancing.
We are hoping to acquire a repossessed flat in Perranporth and the bank selling would like to complete inside 28 days. Do lawyers complete in this timeframe? Would it be better to instruct a high street Perranporth firm or an online company that advertises to offer speedy conveyancing?
