We are buying a newly constructed flat in Caernarfon and my conveyancer is telling me that she is duty bound to the mortgage company to reveal incentives from the developer. I am under pressure to exchange contracts and I would rather not prolong deal. is my lawyer playing by the book?

On the day of completion you will not be required to attend the conveyancers office in Caernarfon. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the purchase money to the vendor’s lawyers, and once they have received this, you should be able to pick up the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.

I have a mortgage with Virgin Money for my property in Caernarfon. Conveyancing was finalised a year ago. If I am intending to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Virgin Money?

Virgin Money must be informed of your intention prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Virgin Money’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Virgin Money directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Virgin Money conveyancing panel lawyer.

It has been 4 months since my purchase conveyancing in Caernarfon concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £180,000. 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 asset 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.

Should I be concerned about brokers that I am dealing with are recommending an online conveyancing firm rather than a local Caernarfon conveyancing firm?

As is the case with many service providers, often referrals from family and friends can be worth their weight in gold. But there are numerous people with a vested interest in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, financial adviser and mortgage companies may suggest conveyancers to retain. On occasion the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but sometimes there is an underlying financial incentive behind the endorsement. You are free to choose your preferred lawyer. You need to be aware that the majority of banks specify a panel list of solicitors you are obliged to use for the lender aspect of your home move.

I need to appoint a conveyancing solicitor for my conveyancing in Caernarfon. I've stumble across a web site which looks to be the ideal answer If it is possible to get all the legals done via email that would be ideal. Should I be wary? What should out be looking out for?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
