Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Porthleven

I am in the throes of changing my current residential loan to a Buy to Let Platform Home Loans Ltd mortgage. I have been informed by my broker that I must appoint a lawyer for this. I got in contact with my previous Porthleven conveyancing solicitor who dealt with the legals when I originally bought the premises. The fee calculation supplied of £470 is an eye-watering amount to do this as its a remortgage than a sale or purchase.

The charges are a tad high. Where you are prepared to invest time scrutinising quotes you might get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by perhaps £100 plus VAT. On the other hand, if you were happy with the legal work the firm offered you couldlive to rue opting for an an untested conveyancer. Remember to enquire that the firm can act for Platform Home Loans Ltd. You can make use of our search tool to choose a Porthleven conveyancing firm on the Platform Home Loans Ltd approved list of lawyers, which can often include conveyancing solicitors in Porthleven.

I am buying a property mortgage free in Porthleven. I have resided for the previous 15 years in Porthleven. Conveyancing searches are expensive. Given that I have knowledge of the road and vicinity very well should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?

In the absence of a home loan, then the vast majority of the Porthleven conveyancing searches are optional. Your lawyer will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should have searches completed, but he has a professional duty to do this. Do consider; if you are going to dispose of the house at a future date, it will be of relevance to your future buyer what the searches determine. On occasion houses with apparent issues can still show up adverse search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Porthleven should be able to give you some constructive guidance in this regard.

My wife and I are buying a apartment in Porthleven. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a solicitor? On the day of competition we will need to put our life savings into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our money?

Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.

Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Coventry BS. Porthleven conveyancing lawyers are instructed. How long does it take for Coventry BS to issue the offer to the lawyer?

There is no definitive answer here. Have Coventry BS conducted the survey? Have you informed Coventry BS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

I have paid off my mortgage with Barclays. I assume I don't need a Porthleven conveyancer on the Barclays panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

If you have finished paying off your Barclays 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 Barclays mortgage from the register. Barclays, 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 Barclays has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
Barclays has instructed the Land Registry to do so

The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Barclays mortgage has been paid off.

We are planning on selling our home in Porthleven and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Porthleven conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using a national conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Porthleven. We have lived in Porthleven for three years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification that the buyers are looking for.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Porthleven I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Porthleven for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?

Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

Taking into account that I will soon part with £400,000 on a property in Porthleven I would like to talk to a conveyancer regarding thetransaction prior to appointing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?

We could not agree more - we would be happy to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you first talking to the solicitor due to be doing your property ownership legalities in Porthleven.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is an important person, not a case number. The solicitors that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are provided with for residential conveyancing in Porthleven should be the amount on the final invoice that you end up paying.
