We are looking to buy a flat and need a conveyancing solicitor in Ilfracombe who is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a solicitor?

Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Leeds Building Society . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Ilfracombe.

We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The bank mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to use their panel solicitor as I would much rather use a specialised conveyancing solicitor in Ilfracombe?

Do check but the chances are that appoint one of their panel conveyancers should you take up the "fee-free" incentive. Contact the bank to see if they offer you a monetary alternative. In the past a few lenders offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case you could put that amount towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor near Ilfracombe.

It has been 3 months following my purchase conveyancing in Ilfracombe took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

Can you provide any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Ilfracombe with the purpose of expediting the sale process?

• Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Ilfracombe can be reduced where you appoint lawyers as soon as your agents start marketing the property and request that they start to collate the leasehold information needed by the purchasers’ lawyers.
If you have the benefit of shareholding in the freehold, you should ensure that you are holding the original share document. Organising a duplicate share certificate can be a lengthy process and delays many a Ilfracombe conveyancing transaction. Where a reissued share is needed, you should approach the company director and secretary or managing agents (if relevant) for this sooner rather than later. If you have had conflict with your freeholder or managing agents it is very important that these are resolved prior to the flat being put on the market. The buyers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a property where there is an ongoing dispute. You may have to bite the bullet and pay any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to the buyers completing the purchase. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled prior to the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You will still have to reveal details of the dispute to the buyers, but it is better to present the dispute as over as opposed to unsettled. You believe that you know the number of years left on your lease but you should verify this via your conveyancers. A purchaser's lawyer will be unlikely to recommend their client to where the lease term is less than 80 years. In the circumstances it is important at an early stage that you identify whether the lease term for your property needs extending. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your premises on the market for sale. Many freeholders or managing agents in Ilfracombe levy fees for providing management packs for a leasehold property. You or your lawyers should find out the actual amount of the charges. The management pack sought as soon as you have a buyer, thus accelerating the process. The typical amount of time it takes to receive management information is three weeks. It is the most frequent cause of delay in leasehold conveyancing in Ilfracombe.

How is the lease structured? What prohibitions are contained in the Ilfracombe Lease? You should be aware if it is less than 80 years it will have adverse implications on the marketability of the property. Check with your mortgage company that they are willing to to proceed given the lease term. Leases with fewer than 80 years remaining means that you will probably have to extend the lease sooner rather than later and you need to have some idea of how much this will be. Remember, in most cases you would need to own the premises for two years in order to be entitled to carry out a lease extension.
