Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the house moving as FTB of a garden flat in Dartmouth. Do I receive the keys to the property on the completion date from my conveyancer? If so, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Dartmouth?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the completion advance to the vendor’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be called to collect the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
We were going to get a OIP from Nationwide this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Nationwide recommend any Dartmouth solicitors on the Nationwide conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Dartmouth solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Nationwide through the process.
Planning on purchasing a flat in Dartmouth. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Nottingham 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 Dartmouth conveyancing practitioner is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up during conveyancing in Dartmouth?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Dartmouth. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
I am buying a new build apartment in Dartmouth. Conveyancing is daunting 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.
Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Dartmouth
-
Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme.

All being well we will complete the sale of our £200,000 flat in Dartmouth next Thursday. The managing agents has quoted £312 for Certificate of Compliance, building insurance schedule and previous years statements of service charge. Is it legal for a freeholder to charge such fees for a flat conveyance in Dartmouth?
Dartmouth conveyancing on leasehold apartments more often than not requires the purchaser’s lawyer sending questions for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is not legally bound to respond to these enquiries most will be content to do so. They are at liberty to invoice a reasonable charge for responding to questions or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average costs for the paperwork that you are referring to is £350, in some transactions it is above £800. The administration charge required by the landlord must be accompanied by a summary of rights and obligations in respect of administration fees, without which the charge is not strictly payable. In reality one has little option but to pay whatever is demanded if you want to exchange contracts with the buyer.
I purchased a basement flat in Dartmouth, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Corresponding properties in Dartmouth with over 90 years remaining are worth £265,000. The ground rent is £50 yearly. The lease runs out on 21st October 2101
With 76 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £8,600 and £9,800 plus professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive investigations. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
I am Googling for Dartmouth competitive conveyancing fees. Can I be confident that all the Dartmouth firms that are listed on your website are on the mortgage company conveyancing panel?
The law firms listed on our site have assured us via an online form that they are on the lender panel and agreed to advise us to take down their listing in the event of removal off of the lender panel. To date we have not been informed by either a bank or a member of the public that the data about a specific Dartmouth firm being on the mortgage company conveyancing panel is incorrect.
