Having been recommended your organisation we were going to use a conveyancing solicitor in Tavistock found on your site but have come across alternative costs illustrations via the web look less pricey – why is this?
You can find hundreds of conveyancing outfits offering what appear to be very low prices. We would urge you to think long and hard as to how important this transaction is to you that you are willing to take 'cheap' risks over the standard of the legal work. Many of them highlight a bargain fee to catch your eye but conceal additional costs in the fine print..
Can your site be used to recommend a Conveyancing solicitor in Tavistock even if I’m not purchasing or selling a house, for example where I wish to buy a shop in Tavistock with a loan from Lloyds TSB Bank?
Our comparison service is primarily utilised to select domestic conveyancing solicitors in Tavistock but we have set out towards the bottom of this page some Tavistock commercial conveyancing firms. You will need to speak with the company directly to establish if they can also act for Lloyds TSB Bank
We are buying a flat in Tavistock. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a conveyancer? At some point we have to put funds into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our monies?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
This question may be naive but I am new to the process as FTB of a garden flat in Tavistock. Do I collect the keys to the premises on completion from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Tavistock?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the purchase money to the seller's conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be invited to collect the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. Usually this happens early afternoon.
We had appointed conveyancers with offices in Tavistock on the Yorkshire BS solicitor panel. They are now charging me a supplemental amount for handling the Yorkshire BS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Yorkshire BS?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your solicitor may charge a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by Yorkshire BS but by your Tavistock lawyer. Numerous firms on the Yorkshire BS panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but many practices include it on their overall fee.
How does conveyancing in Tavistock differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Tavistock come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because house builders in Tavistock typically acquire the land, 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 conveyancers 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 used to new build conveyancing in Tavistock or who has acted in the same development.
We're new to the buying process - had an offer accepted, but the selling agent told us that the vendor will only proceed if we use their preferred lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Tavistock
It is unlikely the vendors are behind this. If they want ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to appoint your own,trusted Tavistock conveyancing firm - not the ones that will earn the negotiator at the agency a kickback or achieve conveyancing figures pre-set by corporate headquarters.
