Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Templecombe

We selected a local lawyer for our conveyancing in Templecombe last week. Going through the Terms it is apparent thatwe are responsible for costs even if the sale aborts. Would I be best advised to use an internet solicitor practice promising no completion no charge conveyancing in Templecombe?

Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the fee levels will generally be higher to counteract the transactions that do not go ahead. Please beware that these deals generally do not protect you from outlay for example Templecombe conveyancing search charges.

Me and my partner are buying a house in Templecombe. It might be a silly question 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 am due to move property in September. Does my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Templecombe. Conveyancing solicitor was chosen before I stumbled across your site.

On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the house keys from your property agent however this should only take place once the previous owners lawyers confirm to the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be handed over. You can inform the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal organisation but can help you choose a residential property solicitor in Templecombe or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Templecombe.

My offer was accepted on a property in Templecombe on 15/6/2026, valuation was booked five days after, received a clean bill of health. Property lawyer retained, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to RBS and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the RBS conveyancing panel. Are RBS entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?

Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for RBS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the RBS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

How does conveyancing in Templecombe differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Templecombe come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Templecombe typically purchase the land, 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 used to new build conveyancing in Templecombe or who has acted in the same development.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Templecombe I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, however it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Templecombe for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?

Should you require a mortgage that many years will likely be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

My business partner and I are hoping to take over a lease of a shop on a shopping parade. Can you recommend lawyers offering fixed charges for commercial conveyancing in Templecombe for below £1,200?

If you are intending to purchase or dispose of a shop, pub, restaurant, office, retail unit or a complete business we will put you in touch with the right solicitor. Regarding the charges these will vary based on the structure and terms of the proposed transaction. Let us have your details or email us so that we may provide you with a detailed commercial conveyancing quote.

I am purchasing a maisonette with all finances in place. I have provided conveyancer with 2 separate proof of photographic ID, bank statement, numerous utility bills. Now he needs a copy from a probate lawyer acknowledging that the money is legitimate and that it has come from inheritance and not via illegitimate means.

For some years now requires conveyancing solicitors as well as banks, building societies and other financial institutes to obtain satisfactory evidence of the identity of the client. This is because solicitors who deal with money and property on behalf of their clients can be used by criminals wishing to launder money. In order to comply with the law of money laundering, your Templecombe conveyancing lawyer will need to obtain evidence of your identity as as well as make sure that your funds are legitimate.
