My wife and I are due to complete buying a property in Bovey Tracey but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have managed to agree compensation from the vendor in the sum of £2k in the form of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of a side agreement but RBS will not agree to this. Why were they informed?
Any conveyancing practitioner that is on a RBS approved list is obliged to disclose to RBS of any variations to the purchase price.

About to purchase maisonette in Bovey Tracey. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the TSB conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Bovey Tracey lawyer is on the TSB conveyancing panel.
At last I have had an offer on a maisonette in Bovey Tracey accepted, but there is a chain. The owners have placed an offer on a flat, but it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other properties booked. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Bovey Tracey. What should be my next step? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with Lloyds?
It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then survey, Bovey Tracey conveyancing search fees, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your property lawyer is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. Regarding the subsequent steps this very much dictated by the specifics of your transaction, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. During a rising market many home buyers would apply for a home loan with Lloyds and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their property lawyer to proceed with the conveyancing in Bovey Tracey.
How does conveyancing in Bovey Tracey differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Bovey Tracey come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because developers in Bovey Tracey usually purchase 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 conveyancers 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 used to new build conveyancing in Bovey Tracey or who has acted in the same development.
