My wife and I are in the throws of viewing houses in St Mawes and I am about to put in an offer. Is it premature to have a solicitor in place? I am planning to take a home loan with Clydesdale.
It would be advisable to instigate your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the estate agent. As you are seeking a mortgage with Clydesdale, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
At last I have had an offer on a maisonette in St Mawes accepted, the sellers do nevertheless have a tied purchase. The vendors have offered on a flat, but it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other flats in the pipeline. I have selected a high street conveyancing solicitor in St Mawes. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with Yorkshire BS going?
It is understandable to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is approx £1k, then valuation, St Mawes conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you should ensure that your solicitor is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. As to the subsequent stages this very much dictated by the circumstances of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market some home buyers will apply for a home loan with Yorkshire BS and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their conveyancing practitioner to proceed with searches.
It has been four months since my purchase conveyancing in St Mawes concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £170,000. 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 asset 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.
How does conveyancing in St Mawes differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in St Mawes come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because builders in St Mawes typically acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in St Mawes or who has acted in the same development.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. St Mawes is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can give?

Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in St Mawes you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in St Mawes may determine 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.
