There is lots of here about conveyancing in Exmouth but what is your top tip for appointing the right conveyancer in Exmouth

It would be unwise to be tempted by the lowest Exmouth conveyancing fees. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of time.

I am planning to move property in May. Should my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Exmouth. Conveyancing lawyer was chosen prior to coming across your website.

On the afternoon of completion you can collect the keys from your selling agent however this can only be done once the vendors lawyers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be given over. Subsequently you can advise the removal company that they can start moving you in. We are not in a position to suggest a particular removal company but can assist you in choosing a conveyancing in Exmouth or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in Exmouth.

After much negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Exmouth. My financial adviser recommended their conveyancers. I paid an advanced payment of £225. Not long after, the conveyancing practitioner contacted me to say that they were not on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Clydesdale panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

In my capacity as executor for the will of my grandmother I am selling a property in Monmouth but I am based in Exmouth. My conveyancer (who is 235 miles from meneeds me to execute a stat dec ahead of completion. Can you recommend a conveyancing solicitor in Exmouth who can attest this legal document for me?

strictly speaking you are unlikely to be required to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally or notary public or qualified solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are based in Exmouth

I've recently bought a leasehold house in Exmouth. Am I liable to pay service charges for periods before completion of my purchase?

Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.

If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).

I invested in buying a split level flat in Exmouth, conveyancing having been completed July 2000. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Comparable properties in Exmouth with over 90 years remaining are worth £195,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 yearly. The lease runs out on 21st October 2088

With only 63 years unexpired the likely cost is going to be between £16,200 and £18,600 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more detailed investigations. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.

I see that you have a search directory listing firms on the bank conveyancing panel. Do Exmouth conveyancing firms pay you a commission if I instruct them for my house purchase?
