I am in need of a conveyancer. Do I opt for an online conveyancer as opposed to a family Abersoch conveyancing solicitor?

This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as FTB of a garden flat in Abersoch. Do I collect the keys to the property on completion from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will find a local conveyancing solicitor in Abersoch?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the purchase money to the vendor’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be invited to collect the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens early afternoon.
We are purchasing a end of terrace house in Abersoch. The intention is to convert the garage to a playroom at the house.Will legal conveyancing on the property include enquiries to determine if these alterations were previously refused?
Your conveyancer should check the registered title as conveyancing in Abersoch will occasionally reveal restrictions in the title deeds which restrict categories of changes or need the consent of another owner. Many extensions require local authority planning permissions and approval in compliance with building regulations. Certain areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or affect extensions. You should check these things with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.
Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with HSBC. Abersoch conveyancing solicitors are selected. How long does it take for HSBC to issue the offer to the conveyancing practitioner?
There is no definitive answer here. Have HSBC completed the survey? Have you informed HSBC as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the HSBC conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
I have a semi-detached Victorian house in Abersoch. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Godiva Mortgages Ltd. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the matching address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Abersoch and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also check the position with the conveyancing solicitor who carried out the work.
How does conveyancing in Abersoch differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Abersoch contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because house builders in Abersoch tend to purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Abersoch or who has acted in the same development.
