Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Bude

I am obtaining a mortgage offer from Halifax. My intention is to retain the legal services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Bude. Does the Halifax Conveyancing panel include conveyancers regulated by the CLC?

The Halifax approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, represented by the CML or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

The owners of the home we are purchasing are using a conveyancing practitioner in Bude who has insisted on a exclusivity contract with a payment two thousand pounds. Are such agreements sensible?

This kind of preliminary agreement is not the norm in Bude, conveyancers are not keen on them as they detract from the primary focus, namely conveyancing and if you end up losing your deposit then the solicitor is left exposed. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that just because the seller has entered into a lock out contract they will sell to you. They may be motivated to break the contract if they receive a big enough financial inducement to do so because a wronged claimant with the benefit of a lockout agreement will still be obliged establish consequential losses from the breach and these may not equate the extra amount that your seller may secure by reneging on the contract, no matter how morally reprehensible the behaviour is.

Why is leasehold purchase conveyancing in Bude is more expensive?

In short, leasehold conveyancing in Bude and elsewhere usually necessitates more hours of investigation compared to freehold conveyancing. This includes lease investigation, communicating with the landlord about serving required notices, obtaining up-to-date service charge and management information, obtaining the freeholder’s consents and reviewing management accounts. The obligations on both the landlord and the tenant in the lease need to be studied by the buyer’s conveyancing team and read from beginning to end – regardless of the fact the lease has passed through many different property solicitors hands since it was first entered into.
