I am in the throes of porting my existing standard home loan to a Buy to Let Birmingham Midshires mortgage. The bank has said that I must appoint a conveyancer as part of the process. I spoke to my previous Porthleven conveyancing solicitor who dealt with the legals when I initially acquired the property. The fee calculation issued of just over five hundred pounds has shocked me as its a remortgage than a sale or purchase.
The costs illustration is fractionally on the high side. Where you are prepared to invest time contrasting charges you might decrease the fees slightly by say £125. On the other hand, assuming were content with the legal work the firm offered you mightlive to rue opting for an a cheaper conveyancer. If is important to be sure the conveyancer can also act for Birmingham Midshires.

At what point will exchange of contracts happen for sale conveyancing in Porthleven and am I required to attend the lawyers branch?
Where you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Porthleven you are welcome to attend to sign the paperwork. However, the lender approved solicitors we work with provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The signing of the sale agreement is not the point of no return. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the firm to officially exchange at the suitable time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a long "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Porthleven)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
My wife and I are planning on selling our home in Porthleven and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. Any local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using an online conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Porthleven. Having lived in Porthleven for six years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to get clarification that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)
It has been 2 months following my purchase conveyancing in Porthleven completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared.
I am looking for a flat up to £305k and found one close by in Porthleven I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Porthleven in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
