Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Truro

I went with a local solicitor for our conveyancing in Truro today. Upon checking the small print I seeI am responsible for charges even where the conveyance does not complete. Should I ditch them and use a web based firm who offer no completion no cost conveyancing in Truro?

It is usually a trade off in that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will generally be more expensive to offset those cases that abort. Also remember that such deals rarely protect you from expenditure e.g. Truro conveyancing search costs.

My husband and I changing mortgage lender for our maisonette in Truro with Barclays. We have a son 18 who lives at home. Our solicitor has asked us to disclose anyone over the age of 17 other than ourselves who lives in the flat. Our lawyer has now e-mailed a document for our son to sign, giving up any rights in the event that the apartment is forfeited by the lender. I have a couple of questions (1) Is this form unique to the Barclays conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we remortgaged 5 years ago (2) In signing this form is our son in any way compromising his right to inherit the property?

On the face of it your lawyer has done nothing wrong as it is established procedure for any occupier who is aged 17 or over to sign the necessary Consent Form, which is purely to state that any rights he has in the property are postponed and secondary to Barclays. This is solely used to protect Barclays if the property were re-possessed so that in such circumstances, your son would be legally obliged to leave. It does not impact your son’s right to inherit the apartment. Please note that if your son were to inherit and the mortgage in favour of Barclays had not been discharged, he would be liable to take over the loan or pay it off, but other than that, there is nothing stopping him from keeping the property in accordance with your will or the rules of intestacy.

I am thinking of mortgaging my property in Truro, does my lawyer have to be on the Barclays Solicitor panel?

In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Barclays conveyancing panel, but Barclays would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.

I am buying a new build house in Truro with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The house builders rep advised me not to tell my solicitor about the side-deal as it may affect my mortgage with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.
