There are a variety of conveyancing solicitors in Kingsbridge but how do I know who I should use?
We would encourage you not to go for the lowest Kingsbridge conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. 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.
is it true that all Kingsbridge conveyancing solicitors on the Barclays conveyancing panel are overseen by the SRA?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Barclays approved list of solicitors they would need to be governed by the SRA. Many mortgage companies do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the organisation would be governed by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

I purchased a terraced Georgian property in Kingsbridge. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Platform Home Loans Ltd. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Kingsbridge and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also question the position with the conveyancing lawyer who completed the work.
How does conveyancing in Kingsbridge differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Kingsbridge approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because developers in Kingsbridge usually acquire the real estate, 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 Kingsbridge or who has acted in the same development.
My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the estate agent told us that the vendor will only proceed if we instruct their recommended lawyers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Kingsbridge
We suspect that the owner is not behind this demand. If they want ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Contact the owners directly and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to appoint your preferred Kingsbridge conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a commission or hit his conveyancing figures set by corporate headquarters.
