I am buying a garden flat in Tintagel. Can I do my own conveyancing?
Leaving aside the complexities and merits of DIY conveyancing in Tintagel you will have to appoint a solicitor on your lender's conveyancing panel to look after their interests.

Furthermore there is minimal cost savings to be made in you doing conveyancing for yourself and another lawyer conducting the conveyancing for the lender.

I am helping my niece sell her house in Tintagel. Does the solicitor arrange an EPC or it is for the owner to see to?
After the demise of Home Information Packs, energy assessments was left as a required element of selling a house. An EPC must be to hand before the property is put on the market. This is not something that solicitors ordinarily organise. If you are instructing a Tintagel conveyancing lawyer they may be willing to arrange energy performance certificates due to their relationships with reputable local providers
The mortgage over my property is with Co-operative for my property in Tintagel. Conveyancing has been completed months ago. Should I wish to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Co-operative?
Your original mortgage agreement with Co-operative will provide that you need their approval prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Co-operative’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Co-operative will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Co-operative directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Co-operative conveyancing panel solicitor.
The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Tintagel. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I would like to complain about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?
Almost all lenders have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Department at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are resolved effectively and efficiently. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR who will take matters further.
I was recommended by a few property agents in Tintagel to get a quote from a conveyancer on your site. Is there a financial advantage for Estate Agents to recommend your lawyers over and above alternative conveyancing organisations?
We don’t make any financial incentive for pointing buyers and sellers our way. We thought it would be too underhand a fee because home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
I own a leasehold house in Tintagel. Conveyancing and Alliance & Leicester mortgage organised. A letter has just been received from someone saying they have taken over the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1992. The conveyancing practitioner in Tintagel who acted for me is not around. Any advice?
The first thing you should do is contact HMLR to be sure that this person is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. You do not need to incur the fees of a Tintagel conveyancing firm to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for less than a fiver. You should note that in any event, even if this is the legitimate landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
