I am assisting my niece sell her house in Yelverton. Will the conveyancer order an EPC or it is for me to see to?
After the abolition of Home Information Packs, EPC’s was retained a mandatory element of selling a property.

We had selected conveyancers located in Yelverton on the TSB solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me an additional amount for dealing with the TSB mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by TSB?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your solicitor may levy a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by TSB but by your Yelverton property lawyer. Plenty of firms on the TSB panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee but plenty of firms incorporate it on their overall fee.
How can we tell if a Yelverton conveyancing solicitor on the Clydesdale panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Yelverton obtaining recommendations is a sensible start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always advocate that you speak with the solicitor conducting your transaction.

How does conveyancing in Yelverton differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Yelverton come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because new home sellers in Yelverton typically purchase the site, 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 Yelverton or who has acted in the same development.
