As a novice what is the most important number one tip you can give me concerning purchase conveyancing in Wedmore?

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Wedmore and elsewhere in England and Wales is an adversarial process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of opportunity for conflict between you and others involved in the legal transfer of property. For instance, the vendor, selling agent and even potentially your mortgage company. Selecting a lawyer for your conveyancing in Wedmore should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the process whose role it is to protect your legal interests and to keep you safe.

There is a distinct ongoing adversarial element to conveyancing- someone must be at fault for the process taking so long. You should always trust your conveyancer above the other players when it comes to the legal assignment of property.

My flat in Wedmore is up for sale and I have a buyer. Does the conveyancer need to be on the Nationwide conveyancing panel in order to deal with the discharge of my mortgage?

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Nationwide conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their conditions fairly frequently in recent years.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as FTB of a garden flat in Wedmore. Do I receive the keys to the premises on the completion date from my conveyancer? If so, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Wedmore?

On the day of completion you do not need to go to the conveyancers office in Wedmore. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the completion advance to the vendor’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be able to receive the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen early afternoon.

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Wedmore. I have a mortgage offer with RBS. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with RBS, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the RBS conveyancing panel.

I have a mortgage with Clydesdale for my property in Wedmore. Conveyancing has been completed a year ago. In the event that I decide to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Clydesdale?

Your original mortgage agreement with Clydesdale will provide that you need their approval before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Clydesdale’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Clydesdale 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 Clydesdale directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Clydesdale conveyancing panel solicitor.

I have been told that property searches are the number one reason for delay in Wedmore conveyancing transactions. Is this right?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released determinations of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the top 10 causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Searches are unlikely to feature in any delay in conveyancing in Wedmore.

How does conveyancing in Wedmore differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Wedmore contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because developers in Wedmore tend to buy the land, 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 property lawyers 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Wedmore or who has acted in the same development.
