Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Llandudno Junction is more expensive?
Llandudno Junction leasehold conveyancing transactions usually involve additional investigations than freeholds including investigating the Lease, liaising with the Landlord such as serving applicable notices on the Landlord or managing agent, obtaining up-to-date service charge and management information, obtaining Landlord’s consents and reviewing management accounts and formation documents.
I have paid off my mortgage with Co-operative. I assume I don't need a Llandudno Junction lawyer on the Co-operative panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Co-operative 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 Co-operative mortgage from the register. Co-operative, 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 Co-operative has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Co-operative has instructed the Land Registry to do so
About to purchase maisonette in Llandudno Junction. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Llandudno Junction lawyer is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.
I have finally had an offer on an apartment in Llandudno Junction accepted, but there is a chain. The vendors have offered on a flat, however it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other apartments booked. I have chosen a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Llandudno Junction. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Bank of Ireland started?
It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Llandudno Junction conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you must ensure that your conveyancer is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Concerning the subsequent steps this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your transaction, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. During a hot market the majority of purchasers would apply for the mortgage with Bank of Ireland and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their property lawyer to press on with the conveyancing in Llandudno Junction.
The deeds to our property can not be found. The conveyancers who conducted the conveyancing in Llandudno Junction 4 years ago no longer exist. Will I be able to sell the house?

I am purchasing my first flat in Llandudno Junction with a mortgage from The Mortgage Works. The sellers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not reveal to my solicitor about this side-deal as it will impact my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.

As with lots of service providers, often referrals from relatives can be very helpful. Nevertheless there are many parties with a keen interest in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, financial adviser and mortgage companies may suggest lawyers to use. On occasion the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there may be a financial incentive behind the recommendation. You have the right to select your own conveyancer. You need to be aware that some lenders operate an approved list of conveyancers you are obliged to use for the mortgage related work in your conveyancing.
