I just bought a flat at auction in Honiton. Conveyancing is necessary. What is next?
Now that you have exchanged you will need to retain a conveyancing lawyer soon as you are faced with a pending deadline in which to complete the property. An auction property will have a corresponding legal set of papers. This will likely include most,if not all of the documents that your conveyancer requires. In the case of leasehold property the conveyancing pack may contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing paperwork relating to a leasehold property. You should hand this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor as soon as possible. Do make sure that that you have the requisite funding in place to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
After much negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Honiton. My financial adviser suggested a solicitor. I paid an advanced payment of £175. Shortly after, the solicitor called me to say that they were not on the Nottingham 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 Nottingham 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.
I have finally had an offer on an apartment in Honiton accepted, the vendors do however have a connected purchase. The owners have offered on on an apartment, but it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other apartments booked. I have selected a high street conveyancing solicitor in Honiton. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Nottingham started?
It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Honiton conveyancing search costs, etc). The first course of action is to check that your solicitor is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. As to the next steps this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a rising market the majority of home buyers will apply for the mortgage with Nottingham and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their solicitor to proceed with searches.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up during conveyancing in Honiton?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Honiton. 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…’
How does conveyancing in Honiton differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Honiton come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because builders in Honiton tend to buy the site, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Honiton or who has acted in the same development.

It is highly unlikely the vendors are driving this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious buyer is going to damage their objectives.
