The property market in Clun is heating up. What can be done to speed up the conveyancing process?
In a situation where the seller is applying pressure for your conveyancing it is advisable to make sure that your solicitor is familiar with the area as they will have local connections and insight. It is possible that they may have handled otherhomes in the same street. Therefore consider using a Clun conveyancing firm. In addition, be sure that the conveyancing firm is on the on the approved list for your mortgage company. It is believed that nearly one in five of Clun conveyancing transactions are frustrated or derailed after finding out that a purchaser’s solicitor was not on their banks panel. This can often result in the legal transfer of property being frustrated by an average of three weeks. It is estimated that this issue impacts approximately 100,000 home sales every year. Most Clun conveyancing firms can not represent certain lenders so do check as early as possible.

This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as FTB of a garden flat in Clun. Do I receive the keys to the house on the completion date from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Clun?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will arrange to send the purchase money to the owner’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be invited to collect the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.
After what seems like an age I have had an offer on a flat in Clun accepted, but there is a chain. The sellers have put an offer on a property, but it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other flats booked. I have selected a high street conveyancing solicitor in Clun. What do I do now? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with Bank of Ireland?
It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is approx £1k, then valuation, Clun conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you must check that your property lawyer is on the Bank of Ireland approved list. Concerning the subsequent steps this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a hot market some purchasers will apply for a home loan with Bank of Ireland and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their lawyer to move forward with searches.
I have been told that property searches are the number one cause of delay in Clun conveyancing transactions. Is that correct?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published conclusions of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the common causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Local searches are unlikely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Clun.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more comprehensive investigations. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other issues that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
