We were about to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Tintagel endorsed using your search tool but stumbled across alternative costs illustrations via the web look cheaper – why is this?
You can find many firms of conveyancing organisations promoting so-called cut-price conveyancing, but additionalfees result in the final invoice markedly uplifted. Solicitors ought to ensure costs listed in terms of engagement should be honest and reasonable and be applied The conveyancers that we put forward for conveyancing in Tintagel set out all legal fees for a standard conveyancing transaction.
The Tintagel conveyancing firm that I recently instructed on my purchase in Tintagel have without warning shut down. I only went with them because I needed a firm on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel and my family Tintagel lawyer was not. I paid them 275 plus VAT in advance. What are my options?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then let them know straight away so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to reasons beyond your control. Hopefully they will be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You should appoint new lawyers that are on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new lawyers may be able to assist.

We expect to receive a AIP from Clydesdale this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Clydesdale recommend any Tintagel solicitors on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Tintagel solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Clydesdale through the process.
The mortgage over my property is with Lloyds for my property in Tintagel. Conveyancing was finalised months ago. If I am intending to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Lloyds?
You must advise Lloyds in advance of letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Lloyds’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Lloyds will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Lloyds directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Lloyds conveyancing panel firm.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Tintagel?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Tintagel. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
I'm buying my first flat in Tintagel with a mortgage from Bank of Ireland. The developers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The property agent advised me not inform my solicitor about this deal as it would adversely affect my mortgage with the 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.
