Selling or buying a home with our Totnes Conveyancing Solicitors
Totnes is a market town situated 28 miles southwest of Exeter and 24 miles east of Plymouth. The town is a hub for music, art and theatre and is known for providing a place to live a ‘bohemian lifestyle’.
Evidence for the towns presence dates back to 1136 when it was mentioned in the book ‘Historia Regum Britanniae’. The Brutus Stone can be found in the town and is thought to be the small granite boulder on which Brutus of Troy, the mythical founder of Britain, took his first step onto the land from his Ship.
Totnes Castle is one of the most well-preserved Norman mottle and bailey castles. The Castle is on a large hill overlooking the town and so is a popular landmark in Totnes. It is thought to have been built in the 12th century.

What are the conveyancing costs?
Totnes Conveyancing Solicitor fees dramatically vary depending on whether you approach an online conveyancing solicitor, a high street conveyancer or housing solicitors introduced by your estate agent.
The actual conveyancing costs, outside of the legal work, should be fixed as they are set including:
For buyers: stamp duty, land registration, property searches, ID searches and leasehold charges (if buying a leasehold property).
For sellers: office copies, title plan and management information (if selling a leasehold property).
It is important to make sure when budgeting the costs of moving home that you factor in all of the above conveyancing costs and ensure you get a fixed fee conveyancing quote from your chosen local solicitors or licensed conveyancer.
Whether you're a cash buyer or buying with a mortgage solicitors are key to the whole process, making the right choice critically important.
Fast, good and cheap conveyancing

Can you have a pet in a leasehold property?
As a freeholder, you have no restriction on whether you can have a pet in your property assuming it isn't something like a pet tiger! However you shouldn't assume this is okay if you're buying a leasehold.
As a leaseholder you are effectively still a tenant but with a much longer term than if you were renting and leasehold agreements often have what are called restrictive covenants which may prohibit the keeping of pets (dogs and cats rather than goldfish!).
The challenge you face is that you might only find out about such a restrictive covenant quite far into the conveyancing process - at the legal enquiries stage - when your solicitor examines the leasehold contract.
Sometimes a freeholder can be persuaded to consent to waive the particular clause - your solicitor organises what is known as a deed of variation - but there's no guarantee and if you choose to go ahead regardless, you might ultimately risk a court ordering you to remove the pet from the premises.
