I hired a Llanbedr based lawyer for my conveyancing in Llanbedr today. Going through the fine print I seewe are on the hook for charges even if the movedoes not happen. Should I ditch them and appoint an internet firm who offer no move no charge conveyancing in Llanbedr?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will generally be higher to cover the cases that abort. Dont forget that such arrangements rarely cover expenses such as Llanbedr conveyancing search fees.
My solicitor has identified a defect with the lease for the flat we are buying in Llanbedr. The other side have put forward title insurance as a workaround. We are happy with insurance and will cover the costs. Our lawyer has advised that he must check that the lender is happy with this solution. Are we the client or is the lender?
The short answer to your last question is that, notwithstanding the risk of a conflict of interest, you and the mortgage company are the client. Your solicitor must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications. The UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions require your lawyer to disclose issues such as defects with the lease so that the bank can be afforded the opportunity to check with their valuer as to the extent that the value of the property is affected. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your property lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.
I am planning to move home in December. Will my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you put forward a removal company in Llanbedr. Conveyancing solicitor was chosen prior to coming across your website.
On the day of completion you will need to collect the keys from the property agent but this can only take place when the sellers lawyers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be collected. Subsequently you will need to advise the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal company but can help you locate a residential property solicitor in Llanbedr or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Llanbedr.
I have paid off my mortgage with Coventry BS. I assume I don't need a Llanbedr solicitor on the Coventry BS panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Coventry BS mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Coventry BS mortgage from the register. Coventry BS, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Coventry BS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Coventry BS has instructed the Land Registry to do so
Our sealed bid on a semi in Llanbedr has been agreed to, the vendors do nevertheless have a connected purchase. The vendors have offered on a property, however it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other properties in the pipeline. I have instructed a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Llanbedr. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with TSB going?
It is understandable to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Llanbedr conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you must ensure that your conveyancer is on the TSB conveyancing panel. Concerning the next phase this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your transaction, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market the majority of home buyers will apply for the mortgage with TSB and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their conveyancer to proceed with searches.

We expect to complete the disposal of our £200,000 garden flat in Llanbedr in just under a week. The landlords agents has quoted £420 for Certificate of Compliance, insurance certificate and 3 years statements of service charge. Is the landlord entitled to charge an administration fee for a leasehold conveyance in Llanbedr?
Llanbedr conveyancing on leasehold maisonettes usually requires the purchaser’s lawyer submitting questions for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is not legally bound to address these enquiries the majority will be willing to do so. They may charge a reasonable administration fee for answering enquiries or supplying documentation. There is no set fee. The average fee for the paperwork that you are referring to is £350, in some cases it is above £800. The management information fee required by the landlord must be sent together with a summary of rights and obligations in relation to administration charges, without which the charge is not strictly payable. Reality however dictates that one has little option but to pay whatever is demanded should you wish to complete the sale of your home.
