I am purchasing a property without a mortgage in Fowey. I have been living for the previous Seventeen years in Fowey. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. Given that I know the road and vicinity intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?
If you not getting a home loan, then all but one or two of the Fowey conveyancing searches are optional. Your conveyancer will try and sway you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but she is duty bound to do this. Do take into account; if you are likely to dispose of the house one day, it could be of interest to your future purchaser what the searches reveal. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still reveal detrimental search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Fowey should be able to give you some constructive guidance here.
We're in Fowey, FTBs buying with a mortgage (lender is Santander , and our lawyer is on the Santander conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Santander conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no solicitor should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
What is your number one tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Fowey
We would encourage you not to go for the lowest Fowey conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you pay 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 go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
I happen to be the sole recipient of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Fowey. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in October. I plan to dispose of the house. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership may be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the house in October. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be affected by that. Most lenders would take a sensible view as this requirement chiefly exists to pick up on subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
We were going to get a OIP from Coventry BS 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 Coventry BS recommend any Fowey solicitors on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Fowey solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Coventry BS through the process.
Me and my brother purchased a semi-detached Georgian house in Fowey. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Nationwide Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the matching property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Fowey and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also enquire as to the position with your conveyancing solicitor who completed the work.

Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.
