Recently been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Tiverton who conducted the legals two years ago asking for a conveyancing quote based on the same type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold residence and a freehold premises) of similar values with a loan from Alliance & Leicester . It looks as though am now being charged double. Better the devil I know or should I seek out an alternative firm of conveyancing solicitor?
The estimate fees seem a little high. If you you were to look around you may be able to trim some of the expense by perhaps a hundred pounds. That being said, providing that you were happy with the service the firm offered you couldcome to regret choosing an an unknown conveyancer. Don't forget to enquire that the firm can represent Alliance & Leicester . You can make use of our search tool to get a quote a Tiverton conveyancing firm on the Alliance & Leicester conveyancing panel, which can often include conveyancing solicitors in Tiverton.
Why do I have to pay up front for conveyancing in Tiverton?
Where you are retaining lawyers for conveyancing in Tiverton your solicitor will ask you put them with funds to cover the search fees. This will be the total of the cost of the Local Authority Search. If any down payment is as part of the total price then this will be asked for shortly prior to contracts are exchanged. The closing balance that is due should be transferred shortly before completion.
I am downsizing from our home in Tiverton and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. Any local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using a national conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Tiverton. Having lived in Tiverton for three years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to seek clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. 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 sickness)
Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Tiverton. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.
Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Tiverton
-
There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Please supply a car parking plan. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified.

We're novice buyers - had an offer accepted, but the property agent advised that the seller will only go ahead if we instruct their preferred lawyers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local solicitor who is accustomed to conveyancing in Tiverton
We suspect that the seller is not behind this request. Should the seller require ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to instruct your preferred Tiverton conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will provide the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or meet his conveyancing figures pre-set by head office.
