We are buying a apartment in Brixham. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a conveyancer? At some point we will need to send funds into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our deposit?
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.
We are due to move property in October. Should my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you recommend a removal company in Brixham. Conveyancing lawyer was found before I stumbled across this page.
On the day of completion you will need to pick up the keys from the property agent but this should only happen after the previous owners solicitors advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be passed over. You will need to inform the removal men that you are ready to move in. We do not suggest a particular removal company but can assist you in locating a residential property solicitor in Brixham or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Brixham.
After shopping around on the internet I have found a Brixham conveyancer having checked that they are on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Yorkshire BS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Yorkshire BS will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your solicitor will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Brixham postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Yorkshire BS, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Brixham.
A friend recommended that if I am purchasing in Brixham I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?

I have todaydiscovered that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Brixham for a purchase of a leasehold flat 12 months ago. How can I establish that the property is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest way to check if the property is in your name, you can make 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 Brixham conveyancing specialists.
I am purchasing a new build house in Brixham with a loan from Bank of Scotland. The builders refused to budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The property agent advised me not disclose to my conveyancer about this side-deal as it could jeopardize my mortgage with the 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%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
