Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Tintagel

Please help. My Tintagel lawyer is advising me that she is duty bound toconduct Tintagel conveyancing searches asthe firm are on the Nat Westconveyancing panel. These Tintagel searches cost a lot of money can this be avoided?

Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. As you are obtaining a mortgage with a mortgage company your conveyancing practitioner has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your solicitor would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook specifications . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Tintagel conveyancing searches.

We are purchasing a property in Tintagel. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a solicitor? On the day of competition we have to send money 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.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the process as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Tintagel. Do I pick up the keys to the premises on the completion date from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Tintagel?

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will arrange to send the purchase money to the seller's solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be invited to collect the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this occurs early afternoon.

It is unclear whether my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Tintagel bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they will lend. My Tintagel conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called and was told they refuse to lend in accordance with their specific requirements. I have no idea who is right.

Provided that the property lawyer is on the bank approved list, they must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook conditions for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

2 months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Tintagel took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. 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 premises 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 Tintagel differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Tintagel approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because builders in Tintagel 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 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 Tintagel or who has acted in the same development.

Is it best to appoint a Tintagel conveyancing solicitor based in the location that I am purchasing? An old friend can conduct the legal work however his firm is located 400miles away.

The primary upside of using a local Tintagel conveyancing practice is that you can attend the office to execute documents, deliver your ID and pester them where appropriate. Having local Tintagel know how is a benefit. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If other friends have used your friend and they were impressed that must outweigh using an unknown Tintagel conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being based in the area.

Expecting to exchange soon on a basement flat in Tintagel. Conveyancing lawyers inform me that they are sending me a report next week. Are there areas in the report that I should be focusing on?

Your report on title for your leasehold conveyancing in Tintagel should include some of the following:

    Changes to the premises Who has the liability to repair and maintain the main walls and foundations. It is important for you to know which party is duty bound to repair and maintenance of all parts of the block and estate Your lawyers should enable you to have an understanding of the building insurance requirements It needs to be made clear to you if the lease allows you to add or upgrade anything in the property- you should be made aware as to whether any restrictions applies to all alterations or just structural alteration, and whether licences for alterations is mandated necessary specifics of the parties to the lease, for example these could be the leaseholder, head lessor, landlord
For details of the information to be contained in your report on your leasehold property in Tintagel please ask your lawyer in ahead of your conveyancing in Tintagel.

I bought a leasehold flat in Tintagel, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Comparable properties in Tintagel with over 90 years remaining are worth £202,000. The ground rent is £60 invoiced every year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2082

With only 57 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to span between £28,500 and £33,000 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
