My friend's step-father is a conveyancing practitioner. I expect that I'll be able to get friends and family pricing for conveyancing, but if not, what kind of costs would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in Plympton?

You should compare pricing. Make use of our comparison tool on this site. The estimates may vary but service levels do differ between conveyancers as is the case with most professions.

AssumingI was to purchase a freehold housein Plympton mortgage fee and have no survey and no conveyancing searches how much should I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Plympton?

Any savings you would gain would be isolated to the costs for searches. Your solicitor is required to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, liaising with your vendors conveyancing practitioner, SDLT return, register the ownership etc. You might save a bit for them not having to register a charge but it won't be meaningful.

We see that you have a post code search directory listing firms on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. Do companies pay you a referral fee if I appoint them for our conveyancing in Plympton?

This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as a first time buyer of a garden flat in Plympton. Do I collect the keys to the premises on the completion date from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Plympton?

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically 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. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.

We have a mortgage agreed in principle with Yorkshire BS. Plympton conveyancing lawyers are selected. How long does it take for Yorkshire BS to forward the offer to the lawyer?

Some lenders take longer than others. Have Yorkshire BS conducted the survey? Have you informed Yorkshire BS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Plympton. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Kent Reliance have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?

Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Kent Reliance your lawyer must check the formal requirements contained in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Kent Reliance. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook includes minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Kent Reliance where a lease fails to meet these specifications. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not restricted to Plympton.

I have todayfound out that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Plympton for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 18 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?

The quickest way to check if the property is registered to you, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Plympton conveyancing specialists.
