I am in the market for a low cost property lawyer. Should I go for for an internet conveyancer as opposed to a high street Woolacombe conveyancing solicitor?

Generally conveyancing lawyers in your neck of the woods will benefit from good alliances with your local authority, which could assist with your Woolacombe conveyancing searches that your solicitor will require. It can only be a plus if they have existing rapport with the Local Land Registry Office your area Woolacombe, other lawyers in the neighbourhood and Woolacombe Estate Agents.

There are a variety of conveyancing solicitors in Woolacombe but how do I know who's good?

We would encourage you not to base your choice on the cheapest Woolacombe conveyancing quote. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.

I happen to be the single beneficiary of my late mum's estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Woolacombe. The Woolacombe property was put into my name in . I want to move. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the house in . Will no one buy the property for half a year?

The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be impacted by that. How sensible a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this provision is chiefly there to identify subsales or the flipping of property.

About to purchase apartment in Woolacombe. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Woolacombe is on the conveyancing panel.

About to purchase a new build flat in Woolacombe. Conveyancing is a frightening process 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.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Woolacombe is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can give?

Flying freeholds in Woolacombe are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Woolacombe you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Woolacombe may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

I happen to be an executor of my recently deceased parent's Will, with a property in Woolacombe which is to be marketed. The property has never been registered at the Land Registry and I'm advised that many EAs will insist that it is done before they'll move forward. What's the procedure for this?

In the situation that you have set out it seems prudent to apply to register in the names of the personal representative(s) as named in the probate and in their capacity as PRs. HMLR’s online guidance explains how to register for the first time and what is required re the deeds and forms. You would need to include and certified copy of the probate as well and complete the form FR1 to refer to the PRs as the applicant.
