We chose a high street lawyer for my conveyancing in Dawlish last week. Upon checking the official terms of business it is apparent thatI am on the hook for charges even if the movedoes not happen. Should I go with them or appoint a web based firm promising no completion no charge conveyancing in Dawlish?

Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be higher to offset those conveyances that abort. You should be mindful that these schemes generally do not protect you from outlay for instance Dawlish conveyancing search charges.

In the event thatI were to acquire a straightforward propertyin Dawlish for cash and dispense with a survey and no conveyancing searches how much should I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Dawlish?

The sole saving you would make on is the disbursement for searches. The property lawyer still be obliged to do everything else - money laundering, communicating with the vendors solicitor, stamp duty submission, register the title etc. You might save a bit for them not having to register a charge however it will not be significant.

The deeds to my house can not be found. The lawyers who dealt with the conveyancing in Dawlish 5 years ago have long since closed. What do I do?

Gone are the days when you need to hold title official documentation to establish that you are the owner of your registered land or premises, given that the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.

I am using a search engine for the term cheap conveyancing in Dawlish it shows results of many conveyancersin the area. With so much choice what is the best way to find the suitable solicitor for the sale of my house?

The preferential way of choosing a suitable conveyancer is through a trusted recommendation, so seek the guidance of colleagues and those you trust who have purchased a property in Dawlish or the respected estate agent or mortgage broker. Costs for conveyancing in Dawlish differ, so it's advisable to secure at least four estimates from different property lawyers. Dont forget to clarify that the fees are fixed.

I own a leasehold house in Dawlish. Conveyancing and Birmingham Midshires mortgage organised. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. It included a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1995. The conveyancing practitioner in Dawlish who acted for me is not around. What should I do?

First contact HMLR to make sure that this person is in fact the registered owner of the freehold reversion. There is no need to incur the fees of a Dawlish conveyancing practitioner to do this as it can be done on-line for a few pound. You should note that regardless, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.

I inherited a 1st floor flat in Dawlish, conveyancing having been completed April 2008. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Equivalent flats in Dawlish with an extended lease are worth £206,000. The ground rent is £45 charged once a year. The lease finishes on 21st October 2091

With 66 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to span between £11,400 and £13,200 as well as costs.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other issues that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information before getting professional advice.
