I am obtaining a offer of a home loan from Nat West. My intention is to use a Licensed Conveyancer in Harlech. Does the Nat West Solicitor panel allow for conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Nat West approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, associated to the Council or Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
We note that you have a search directory listing firms on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Do firms pay you a referral fee if I appoint them for our conveyancing in Harlech?
We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Harlech.
I have been referred to a conveyancing solicitor in Harlech. I I would like to check if they are accepted on the Clydesdale approved list of lawyers. Could you advise?
The first thing to do is contact the conveyancer and enquire whether they can act for the lender. Otherwise you should call Clydesdale who may be able to assist.
Just acquired a terraced house in Harlech , how long should it take for the Land Registry to record my ownership? My Harlech conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to check that my ownership is registered.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Harlech registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry need to notify any third parties. At present in the region of 80% of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Registration takes place once the purchaser has moved in to the property so an expedited registration is not always an essential issue but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
How does conveyancing in Harlech differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Harlech contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because builders in Harlech tend to buy the land, 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 property lawyers 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 used to new build conveyancing in Harlech or who has acted in the same development.
I was recommended by a number of property agents in Harlech to get a quote from a solicitor on your site. What’s the financial inducement for Estate Agents to offer your services ahead of alternative conveyancing organisations?
We don’t give any financial incentive for directing people in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult a fee as a client could think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
