It is a dozen years since I acquired my property in Teignmouth. Conveyancing solicitors have now been retained on the sale but I am unable to locate the title documents. Is this a problem?
Don’t worry too much. First the deeds may be retained by your lender or they may be in the possession of the lawyers who handled your purchase. Secondly in most cases the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers procuring current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Teignmouth involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as FTB of a garden flat in Teignmouth. Do I pick up the keys to the property on completion from my lawyer? If so, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Teignmouth?
On the day of completion you do not need to go to the conveyancers office in Teignmouth. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the purchase money to the vendor’s conveyancers, and once they have received this, you should be invited to receive the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.
We had chosen conveyancing lawyers located in Teignmouth on the Principality solicitor panel. They are now charging me a further amount for handling the Principality mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Principality?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your conveyancing practitioner is entitled to levy a fee for this. The charge is not set by Principality but by your Teignmouth solicitor. Plenty of firms on the Principality panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but some practices include it on their overall fee.
Planning on purchasing a apartment in Teignmouth. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Teignmouth conveyancer is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one near me in Teignmouth I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, however it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Teignmouth in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.
