I have been told that property searches are the primary reason for hinderance in Tiverton house deals. Is this right?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published conclusions of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the common causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Searches are unlikely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Tiverton.
The deeds to my home are lost. The lawyers who conducted the conveyancing in Tiverton 5 years ago no longer exist. What are my next steps?
Nowadays there are copies made of almost everything, and your solicitor will know precisely where to locate all the suitable documentation so you may purchase or dispose of your property without any difficulty. If duplicates can’t be located, your solicitor may be able to arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities against possible claims on the premises.
I'm buying my first flat in Tiverton with a loan from HSBC Bank. The sellers would not reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The house builders rep told me not reveal to my lawyer about this side-deal as it would adversely affect my mortgage with HSBC Bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Do I need to be suspicious by estate agents that I am dealing with are suggesting a web based conveyancing firm rather than a High Street Tiverton conveyancing practice?
As with lots of professional services, often input from family and friends can be worth their weight in gold. Nevertheless there are many players in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, financial adviser and lenders may put forward solicitors to appoint. Sometimes these conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but occasionally there might be a financial incentive behind the recommendation. You are at liberty to appoint your own conveyancer. However, bear in mind that some mortgage providers specify a panel list of solicitors you have to use for the lender related work in your conveyancing.
