I plan on purchasing a flat in Kingsbridge. My property lawyer is not listed on the mortgage company solicitor panel. Can I still continue with my Kingsbridge conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the mortgage company panel?
One must instruct a conveyancing practitioner to complete the formalities if you take out a loan to purchase your home. They will conduct all the essential investigations on the property, ensuring that you will be properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the necessary mortgage documentation is dealt with. One may select a Kingsbridge property lawyer of your choosing. Nevertheless, where the conveyancer appointed is not a member of the lender conveyancing panel further costs will arise as separate legal representation will be required by them. Bank panel applications can be submitted, so provided your lawyer has not historically applied for membership they should do so.

I have todaybeen informed that Wolstenholmes have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Kingsbridge for a purchase of a leasehold flat 12 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest way to check if the premises is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Kingsbridge conveyancing specialists.
I have been recommended by three or four local selling agents in Kingsbridge to find a solicitor on your site. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to promote your site over and above alternative conveyancing organisations?
We don’t give any referral fee for directing people in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult a fee as home movers will think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.

Last March I purchased a leasehold property in Kingsbridge. Do I have any liability for service charges for periods before completion of my purchase?
In a situation 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. However, 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 ensure 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).
