My IFA has requested my Dawlish law firm’s panel member for the Nationwide conveyancing panel. How do I obtain this. I have tried my local Dawlish office but they have not got back to me yet.

Have you tried contacting your Dawlish solicitor about this?. Most Dawlish law practices will retain a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each mortgage company.

My wife and I have organised a further advance on our mortgage from Coventry BS as we intend to conduct alterations to our house in Dawlish. Do we need to appoint a bricks and mortar Dawlish solicitor on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?

Coventry BS don't usually instruct a member of their conveyancing panel to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Coventry BS list.

Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with UBS. Dawlish conveyancing practitioners are selected. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from UBS?

There is no definitive answer here. Have UBS done the valuation? Have you advised UBS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the UBS conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

I can not work out if my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Dawlish building society branch on various occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they will lend. My Dawlish conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called and was told they would not lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?

Your conveyancer must follow the CML Handbook Part 2 specifications for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Dawlish. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.

Here are examples of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Dawlish

Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme.
