In a situation where the seller is applying time constraints to exchange it is highly recommended that your solicitor is familiar with the location as they will make use of local relationships and intelligence.

Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.

We had selected solicitors with offices in Templecombe on the UBS solicitor approved list. They are now charging me an additional sum for the legal aspects of the UBS mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by UBS?

As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your solicitor is entitled to charge a fee for this. This fee is not set by UBS but by your Templecombe property lawyer. Plenty of firms on the UBS panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Templecombe. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Skipton be concerned?

As you are obtaining a mortgage with Skipton your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing instructions set out in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Skipton. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook sets out minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Skipton where a lease does not meet these conditions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not limited to Templecombe.

How does conveyancing in Templecombe differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Templecombe approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. 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 conveyancing solicitors 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.
