Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Beaworthy

Will my conveyancing lawyers need to check that the building insurance when buying a house in Beaworthy. My lender is Chelsea Building Society

Chelsea Building Society have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook. As of 20/3/2025, the requirements read as follows :

How does conveyancing in Beaworthy differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Beaworthy contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because developers in Beaworthy usually buy the site, 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 property lawyers 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 Beaworthy or who has acted in the same development.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Beaworthy is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can give?

Flying freeholds in Beaworthy are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Beaworthy you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Beaworthy may ascertain 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 premises.

Am I right to be suspicious about estate agents that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use a nationwide conveyancing firm rather than a local Beaworthy conveyancing company?

As with many professional services, often input from connections can be extremely useful or valuable. But there are lots of players in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, mortgage brokers and lenders might all suggest conveyancers to retain. On occasion these solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but sometimes there exists a financial incentive behind the recommendation. You have the discretion to select your own conveyancer. You need to be aware that some mortgage providers specify a panel list of law firms you must use for the mortgage related work in your conveyancing.
