We instructed a high street lawyer for our conveyancing in Plymstock last week. Reviewing the Ts and Cs I notewe are on the hook for fees even if our purchase doesn't happen. Would I be best advised to instruct an on-line conveyancing brokerage who offer no completion no charge conveyancing in Plymstock?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will tend to be be uplifted to cover those transactions that do not proceed. Please beware that such promotions rarely cover outlay e.g. Plymstock conveyancing search charges.
Should my lawyer be making enquiries about flooding during the conveyancing in Plymstock.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors specialising in conveyancing in Plymstock. Some people will purchase a house in Plymstock, fully aware 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, adequate insurance cover, or sell the premises. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Solicitors are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a various checks that may be carried out by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which should give them a better appreciation of the risks in Plymstock. The standard completed inquiry forms supplied to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a standard question of the owner to determine whether the premises has suffered from flooding. In the event that the premises has been flooded in past and is not revealed by the owner, then a buyer may issue a legal claim for losses as a result of such an misleading response. A purchaser’s conveyancers may also carry out an enviro report. This will indicate if there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations will need to be made.
It has been 4 months since my purchase conveyancing in Plymstock concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Plymstock is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Plymstock are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Plymstock you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Plymstock may decide 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 premises.

We're first time buyers - agreed a price, yet the selling agent has warned us that the seller will only go ahead if we use their preferred conveyancers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Plymstock
We suspect that the owner is not behind this requirement. If they require ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious buyer is not the way to achieve this. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and explain that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to use your preferred Plymstock conveyancing firm - rather thanthose that will give their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing targets demanded by head office.
