Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Callington

I have a decision in principle. The bank mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to instruct their panel lawyer as I would much rather use a specialised conveyancing solicitor in Callington?

Do check but the chances are that give you one of their panel solicitors should you want the "fee-free" deal. Call the lender to check if they allow a cash alternative. It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as a further option in which case you could put that amount towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor in Callington.

A colleague recommended that if I am purchasing in Callington I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?

A search of this type is usually quoted for as part of the standard Callington conveyancing searches. It is not a small document of more than thirty pages, listing and detailing important information about Callington around the property and the people living there. It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the Callington Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the type of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average Property Price, Crime statistics, Callington Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful data about Callington.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Callington with a mortgage from The Royal Bank of Scotland. The builders refused to move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The property agent told me not disclose to my solicitor about the extras as it would impact my mortgage with The Royal Bank of Scotland. Is this normal?.

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.

Am I right to be suspicious about third parties that I am dealing with are suggesting a national conveyancing firm rather than a local Callington conveyancing company?

As is the case with lots of professional services, often recommendations from relatives can be extremely useful or valuable. Yet there are numerous players in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, financial adviser and mortgage companies might all suggest solicitors to instruct. Sometimes these solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but sometimes there is an underlying commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You are free to appoint your own lawyer. However, bear in mind that many banks operate an approved list of solicitors you are obliged to use for the mortgage aspect of your home move.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Callington. Before I set the wheels in motion I would like to find out the unexpired term of the lease.

If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Callington - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

Callington Leasehold Conveyancing - Sample of Questions you should ask before Purchasing

    Generally speaking the outlay for major works are not included within service charges, although a few managing agents in Callington ask leasehold owners to contribute towards a sinking fund created for the specific intention of establishing a fund for larger repairs or maintenance. Make sure you enquire if there are any onerous restrictions in the lease. By way of example some leases prohibit pets being allowed in in a block in Callington. If you love the apartmentin Callington however your cat can’t make the move with you then you have a very difficult choice. This question is important as a) areas may result in problems for the building as the common areas may start to deteriorate where maintenance are not paid for b) if the leasehold owners have a dispute with the managing agents you will wish to know about it

We have instructed a Callington conveyancing solicitor for our house purchase (first time buyers) and have spotted in the Ts and Cs that they are not governed by the FCA. Am I right to be worried or is that standard with property lawyer?

We can't see why they should be. Most solicitor don't lend money. You should check that they are regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, who set specific laws regulating funds sitting in their bank.
