I was notified yesterday by my IFA that my Truro the law firm I have appointed is not on the bank Solicitor panel. What can I do to be sure if this is correct?
The sensible course of action for you to take is to call your Truro lawyer directly. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to notify you what has happened. If they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the conveyancing panel for your mortgage company.
In the event thatI was to buy a straightforward homein Truro mortgage fee and have no survey and no local authority searches how much would I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Truro?
The sole reduction in fees you would make on is the disbursement for searches. A conveyancing practitioner is required to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, liaising with the sellers conveyancer, stamp duty submission, register the title etc. A slight saving might be made by not having to register a charge but it won't be significant.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Truro?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Truro. 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…’
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Truro is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Truro are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Truro you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Truro may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
I'm remortgaging my current home to a BTL loan with Halifax and I will use the ballance of the raised equity as a down payment on further property. The area we are interested in is Truro. Will your solicitors be able to act for both sets of mortgage companies and tie in the transactions?
Make use of our search tool on this page to ensure that the conveyancers are approved by both lenders. On the basis that they are your conveyancer will be able to simultaneously deal with the two deals but you should have a chat with you lawyer and make apparent your desired outcome and requirements.
A licensed conveyancer dealt with my conveyancing in Truro 5 years ago and was holding my title documents but has since been shut down – What can I do to get hold of these?

If you need to prove evidence of proprietorship or are selling or refinancing your lawyer can obtain up to date copies of the register from the Land Registry in any case.
