Why is leasehold purchase conveyancing in Bovey Tracey is more expensive?
The conveyancing costs for a leasehold property in Bovey Tracey is inevitably greater than on a freehold residence. This is due to the extra investigations required in communicating with the landlord and management company to obtain evidence about whether the rent and maintenance fee have been cleared and whether there are any significant expenditure in the foreseeable future on repairs or maintenance of the building.
What happens if my lawyer’s firm is expelled from the Leeds Building Society Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Bovey Tracey?
The first thing to point out is that, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.
