Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. As you are obtaining a home loan with a bank your lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your solicitor would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the CML Handbook provisions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Bodmin conveyancing searches.

How does conveyancing in Bodmin differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Bodmin contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because new home sellers in Bodmin tend to buy 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 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 Bodmin or who has acted in the same development.

I’m about to sell my 2 bed flat in Bodmin. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have just received a quarterly service charge invoice – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is clear the maintenance contribution as you normally would as all ground rent and maintenance invoices will be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
