Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Perranporth

What is the first thing I need to know about purchase conveyancing in Perranporth?

Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Perranporth and elsewhere in Cornwall is an adversarial experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of room for friction between you and other parties involved in the legal transfer of property. For instance, the vendor, selling agent and even potentially a mortgage company. Appointing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Perranporth should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY party in the transaction whose role it is to protect your best interests and to keep you safe.

On occasion a potential adversary will attempt to convince you that you should follow their advice. For instance, the selling agent may claim to be assisting by claiming that your solicitor is wrong. Or your financial adviser may try to convince you to do something that is against your solicitors guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Nottingham. Perranporth conveyancing solicitors have been chosen. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Nottingham?

Some lenders take longer than others. Have Nottingham completed the valuation? Have you informed Nottingham as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

It is unclear whether my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have called my Perranporth building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Perranporth conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they would not lend based on their specific requirements. I simply don't know who is right.

The property lawyer must follow the CML Handbook section two conditions for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

About to purchase house in Perranporth. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Perranporth lawyer is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel.

Me and my brother have a terraced Georgian property in Perranporth. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Santander. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the matching address. Is it worth asking Santander to clarify?

You need to assess 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 Perranporth and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who carried out the work.

I opted to have a survey done on a property in Perranporth prior to instructing lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. The surveyor has said that some mortgage companies may refuse to give a loan on such a premises.

It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different instructions from Nationwide. Should you wish to telephone us we can look into this further via the relevant bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Perranporth. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Perranporth to see if the conveyancing will be more expensive.

How does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my business offices in Perranporth and how can you help?

The 1954 Act affords security of tenure to business tenants, granting the right to make a request to court for a renewal tenancy and continue in occupation at the end of an expired lease. There are limited grounds where a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are involved. We are happy to direct you to commercial conveyancing practices who use the act to your advantage and assist with commercial conveyancing in Perranporth

I am short of a 10% deposit on my house purchase in Perranporth , but I am anxious go ahead. What can I do?

You can agree a smaller deposit. Many property owners will agree to a smaller deposit or even no deposit for a first time buyer or 100% mortgage. Be aware though that if you fail to complete you will still need to hand over a minimum of 10% of the purchase price regardless of how much deposit was agreed.

You can also agree a simultaneous exchange and completion as no deposit is required for this however neither party will be tied in until completion actually takes place and it can be risky if sellers change their mind at the last minute
