Will lawyers ask for money up-front when it comes to conveyancing in Port Isaac?
If you are buying a property in Port Isaac your lawyer will ask you to provide them with monies to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches.

I'm buying a new build house in Port Isaac with a loan from The Mortgage Works. The developers would not budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep advised me not reveal to my lawyer about this side-deal as it may jeopardize my loan with The Mortgage Works. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
We're FTB’s - had an offer accepted, but the property agent advised that the owners will only proceed if we instruct the agent's chosen conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a high street solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Port Isaac
We suspect that the owner is not behind this ultimatum. If they want ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated buyer is going to damage their objectives. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and make the point that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to appoint your own,trusted Port Isaac conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a commission or hit his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by senior management.
My fiance and I may need to sub-let our Port Isaac ground floor flat for a while due to a career opportunity. We instructed a Port Isaac conveyancing firm in 2003 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time seek any guidance as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?
Notwithstanding that your previous Port Isaac conveyancing lawyer is not available you can review your lease to check if you are permitted to let out the apartment. The rule is that if the lease is silent, subletting is allowed. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you are obliged to obtain consent via your landlord or some other party in advance of subletting. The net result is that you cannot sublet without prior permission. Such consent must not not be unreasonably refused ore delayed. If your lease prohibits you from subletting the property you will need to ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
I invested in buying a leasehold flat in Port Isaac, conveyancing was carried out June 2000. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Corresponding properties in Port Isaac with over 90 years remaining are worth £260,000. The ground rent is £45 yearly. The lease ceases on 21st October 2099
With just 74 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £8,600 and £9,800 plus legals.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive investigations. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
