I am acquiring a property mortgage free in Morfa Nefyn. I have been residing for the previous Seventeen years in Morfa Nefyn. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. Given that I have knowledge of the area and road very well must I have all the conveyancing searches?
In the absence of a mortgage, then the vast majority of the Morfa Nefyn conveyancing searches are optional. Your lawyer will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but he is duty bound to do this. One thing to bear in mind; if you are intend to dispose of the house one day, it will likely be be of relevance to your prospective purchaser what the searches disclose. Sometimes premises with functional issues can still reveal detrimental search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Morfa Nefyn should be able to give you some sensible advice in this regard.
It is 10 years ago since I acquired my property in Morfa Nefyn. Conveyancing lawyers have just been appointed on the sale but I am unable to find my title deeds. Is this a problem?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be with the lender or they may still be with the solicitor who oversaw your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers procuring up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Morfa Nefyn relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it is more tricky but is resolvable.
This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as a first time buyer of a garden flat in Morfa Nefyn. Do I collect the keys to the property on the completion date from my solicitor? If so, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Morfa Nefyn?
On the day of completion you will not be required to attend the conveyancers office in Morfa Nefyn. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the purchase money to the owner’s conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be called to pick up the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
We are planning to move property in November. Will my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Morfa Nefyn. Conveyancing firm was organised before I stumbled across this page.
On the day of completion you can collect the house keys from your estate agent but this can only occur once the vendors conveyancers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be given over. After that you can tell the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal company but can help you find a conveyancing in Morfa Nefyn or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Morfa Nefyn.
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Morfa Nefyn. I have a mortgage offer with Aldermore. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Aldermore, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.
How does conveyancing in Morfa Nefyn differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Morfa Nefyn approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because builders in Morfa Nefyn typically buy the real estate, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Morfa Nefyn or who has acted in the same development.
I opted to have a survey completed on a house in Morfa Nefyn ahead of instructing solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. My surveyor has said that some mortgage companies tend not issue a mortgage on such a premises.

If you contact us we can look into this further with the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Morfa Nefyn.

Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Morfa Nefyn from the point of view of saving time on the sale process?
- Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Morfa Nefyn can be bypassed if you appoint lawyers the minute your agents start advertising the property and request that they start to collate the leasehold documentation needed by the purchasers’ lawyers. If you have the benefit of shareholding in the freehold, you should make sure that you are holding the original share certificate. Obtaining a duplicate share certificate can be a time consuming process and frustrates many a Morfa Nefyn conveyancing deal. Where a duplicate share certificate is necessary, you should approach the company director and secretary or managing agents (if applicable) for this as soon as possible. You believe that you know the number of years remaining on your lease but it would be wise to verify this by asking your solicitors. A buyer’s conveyancer will not be happy to advise their client to where the remaining number of years is under 80 years. In the circumstances it is important at an as soon as possible that you identify whether the lease requires a lease extension. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your premises on the market for sale. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s consent? Have you, for example installed wooden flooring? Morfa Nefyn leases often stipulate that internal structural changes or installing wooden flooring require a licence from the Landlord approving such changes. If you fail to have the consents in place you should not communicate with the landlord without contacting your solicitor first.
