Finally, a loan offer from NatWest for the refinancing of my 2 bedroom maisonette is coming any day now. Could you put forward a low cost conveyancing practitioner in Bude?
You have arrived at the wrong place to search for the cheapest conveyancing in Bude. Our aim is to provide affordable conveyancing but we do not advertise as being the cheapest. Do not be swayed by brokers teasing you with £99 conveyancing in Bude. The optimum result, in going for cheap conveyancing, you will earn what you pay for and at worst it will result in you with a hefty uplift in additional fees and still not end up with the service you were looking for.
Should our solicitor be asking questions regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Bude.
Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers dealing with homes in Bude. Some people will purchase a house in Bude, completely aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical damage, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or sell the premises. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Solicitors are not qualified to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a number of checks that may be undertaken by the buyer or by their conveyancers which will figure out the risks in Bude. The standard information supplied to a buyer’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) incorporates a standard inquiry of the seller to discover if the premises has ever been flooded. If the residence has been flooded in past and is not disclosed by the seller, then a purchaser may bring a claim for damages stemming from an incorrect response. A buyer’s lawyers may also conduct an enviro report. This should reveal if there is any known flood risk. If so, additional investigations should be carried out.
How does conveyancing in Bude differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Bude contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because developers in Bude tend to 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Bude or who has acted in the same development.

My solicitors in Bude have advised me that no longer have my conveyancing file. At the time of my purchase I took out a mortgage with the mortgage company. Is it case that being on the lender conveyancing panel they need to have retained the file for a number of years?
Different lenders have different requirements but many of the Terms and Conditions of Conveyancing Panel Appointment require the file to be held for a period of 6 years. That being said we have not seen a copy of the mortgage company Conveyancing Panel Terms. It might be worth you contacting the bank directly.
