Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Calstock

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as a 1st time buyer of a two bedroom flat in Calstock. Do I receive the keys to the property on the completion date from my solicitor? If so, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Calstock?

On the day of completion you will not be required to attend the conveyancers office in Calstock. Your solicitors will transfer the purchase money to the owner’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be able to receive the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.

Is it the case that all Calstock CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Clydesdale conveyancing list of approved solicitors?

It is true that some lenders now utilise CQS as the kick off point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. CQS accreditation however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to join their approved list of conveyancing solicitors.

Can you point me to a directory of Nottingham panel solicitors in Calstock on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?

Unfortunately not yet. There is no such facility on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association websites. Very few lenders make their panel listings visible on the web. If you are seeking to appoint a Calstock conveyancer on the Nottingham please use our facility.

Various internet forums that I have visited warn that are a common reason for stalling in Calstock conveyancing transactions. Is this right?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published findings of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the top 10 causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are not likely to feature in any slowing down conveyancing in Calstock.

How does conveyancing in Calstock differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Calstock contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because builders in Calstock tend to purchase the real estate, 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 Calstock or who has acted in the same development.

Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Calstock before retaining lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. My surveyor advised that some mortgage companies tend refuse to give a loan on this type of premises.

It varies from the lender to lender. Santander has different instructions from Halifax. Should you wish to call us we can look into this further with the relevant lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Calstock. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Calstock especially if they regularly deal with such properties in Calstock.

Taking into account that I will soon spend hundreds of thousands of pounds on a house in Calstock I would like to have a conversation with the lawyer concerning theconveyancing in advance of instructing the firm. Can this be arranged?

This is something that we encourage - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you liaising with the conveyancer due to be conducting your conveyancing in Calstock.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is unique person, not a matter number. The solicitors that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are calculated and presented to you for your conveyancing in Calstock should be the figure that you end up paying.
