We decided to go with a Polperro based lawyer for my conveyancing in Polperro yesterday. After carefully reading the small print I seeI am responsible for costs even if the sale aborts. Would I be best advised to appoint a web based firm promoting no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Polperro?

It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be uplifted to counteract those conveyances that do not proceed. Please beware that such offerings tend not to protect you from expenses such your Polperro conveyancing search costs.

I got the keys to my house on 8 March and the transaction details is not yet registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Polperro advises it will be dealt with inside ten days. Are titles in Polperro uniquely lengthy to register?

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Polperro registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry need to notify any third parties. Currently in the region of 80% of submission are fully addressed within two weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Registration occurs once the purchaser has moved in to the premises thus 'speed' is not usually primary concern yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Polperro is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Polperro are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Polperro you would need to get your solicitor to go 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 Polperro may decide 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.

Am I right to be suspicious that third parties that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use a factory type conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Polperro conveyancing firm?

As is the case with many service providers, often input from connections can be very helpful. But there are numerous parties with a keen interest in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, financial adviser and lenders might all suggest solicitors to select. Sometimes these conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but occasionally there behind the scenes financial incentive behind the endorsement. You are at liberty to choose your own lawyer. However, bear in mind that some mortgage providers specify a panel list of lawyers you are obliged to use for the mortgage related work in your house move.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my garden apartment in Polperro.Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed however I have recently received a yearly maintenance charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?

It best that you clear the invoice as you normally would as all rents and maintenance payments should be apportionedon completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process
