Is it correct that all Torpoint CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the UBS conveyancing panel?
It is true that some lenders now make use of the accreditation scheme as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS accreditation however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to join their approved list of conveyancing solicitors.

We had appointed conveyancers with offices in Torpoint on the Barclays solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me an additional amount for the legal aspects of the Barclays mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Barclays?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your property lawyer is entitled to charge a fee for this. This fee is not set by Barclays but by your Torpoint solicitor. Plenty of firms on the Barclays panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
The deeds to our property can not be found. The conveyancers who dealt with the conveyancing in Torpoint 4 years ago no longer exist. Will I be able to sell the house?
In today’s world there are copies made of almost everything, and your conveyancer will know precisely where to locate all the appropriate paperwork so you can buy or sell your house without any difficulty. Where duplicates are not available, your lawyer may be able to arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities protecting you against possible claims on your property.
How does conveyancing in Torpoint differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Torpoint contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because developers in Torpoint typically purchase 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Torpoint or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one close by in Torpoint I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Torpoint in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
