Having sold my house in Truro last August but our buyer keeps SMS messaging me complaining that their solicitor is waiting to hear from myconveyancer. What should have happened now that I have sold?
Following your house sale your lawyer is obliged to send the transfer documentation and all additional paperwork to the buyer’s solicitors. Depending on the transaction, your lawyer must also send confirmation that the mortgage has been paid off to the buyers conveyancers. There is unlikely to be post completion procedures just for conveyancing in Truro.
My wife and I are buying a property in Truro. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a conveyancer? On completion day we have to deposit money into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our deposit?
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.
I have paid off my mortgage with Clydesdale. I assume I don't need a Truro conveyancing practitioner on the Clydesdale panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Clydesdale mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Clydesdale mortgage from the register. Clydesdale, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Clydesdale has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Clydesdale has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Truro off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Coventry BS. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Coventry BS, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Truro. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.
Set out below are examples of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Truro
-
Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.

What is the reason for new build conveyancing in Truro being more expensive?
Acquiring a new build premises is completely distinct from the normal house purchase conveyancing in Truro. Firstly developers ordinarily demand contracts to exchange within a tight deadline, so there is a a great deal of pressure on your conveyancing practitioner to make sure all is in order. Furthermore new build premises frequently necessitate examination of adoption of highways, drains, planning considerations, building warranties or architects certificates.
