I am acquiring a house for cash in Porthleven. I have been living for the previous Seventeen years in Porthleven. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. As I have knowledge of the road and vicinity intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a home loan, then all but one or two of the Porthleven conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your lawyer will ’encourage you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches completed, but she is duty bound to do this. One thing to consider; if you are intend to dispose of the house one day, it may be of importance to your future buyer what the searches reveal. On occasion premises with day to day issues can still reveal detrimental search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Porthleven will be able to give you some constructive guidance here.
We are buying a house in Porthleven. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a conveyancer? On the day of competition we will need to put funds into their account. What is the protection 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.
I had a mortgage agreed in principle with Coventry BS. Porthleven conveyancing solicitors are appointed. How long does it take for Coventry BS to send the offer to the conveyancer?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Coventry BS done the valuation? 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 today made my last payment due on my mortgage with UBS. I assume I don't need a Porthleven conveyancing practitioner on the UBS panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your UBS 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 UBS mortgage from the register. UBS, 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 UBS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- UBS has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I'm purchasing a new build house in Porthleven with a mortgage from Lloyds TSB Bank. The developers would not budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The house builders rep advised me not to tell my lawyer about the side-deal as it may adversely affect my mortgage with Lloyds TSB Bank. 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.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Porthleven. Before I get started I require certainty as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
Assuming the lease is registered - and almost all are in Porthleven - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
I invested in buying a garden flat in Porthleven, conveyancing was carried out 5 years ago. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Equivalent flats in Porthleven with over 90 years remaining are worth £190,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 invoiced annually. The lease ceases on 21st October 2087
With just 62 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £17,100 and £19,800 plus professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other issues that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
My sealed bid on property in Porthleven has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The vendors have offered on a property, although it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other flats booked. I have selected a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Porthleven. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with HSBC going with HSBC?
It is standard to have anxieties where there is a chain given your reluctance to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Porthleven conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you must ensure that your property lawyer is on the HSBC conveyancing panel. Concerning the subsequent stages this very much depends on the specifics of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a hot market the majority of buyers will apply for the mortgage with HSBC and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their conveyancing practitioner to move forward with the conveyancing in Porthleven.
