I had a mortgage agreed in principle with Nationwide. St Clears conveyancing solicitors were selected. How long does it take for Nationwide to issue the offer to the property lawyer?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Nationwide done the survey? Have you informed Nationwide as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Nationwide conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
Planning on purchasing a maisonette in St Clears. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Skipton 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 St Clears lawyer is on the Skipton conveyancing panel.

The property agent will need to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the lawyers are on the bank’s panel). Call up Aldermore or the broker and finish off any relevant forms.

Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes approximately ten days for the mortgage offer to be issued. Aldermore will issue the offer to you and your property lawyers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in St Clears.
How does conveyancing in St Clears differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in St Clears come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because house builders in St Clears tend to acquire 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 St Clears or who has acted in the same development.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. St Clears is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in St Clears are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in St Clears you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in St Clears may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
Should I be suspicious by brokers that I am dealing with are recommending an online conveyancing firm as opposed to a local St Clears conveyancing firm?
As is the case with many service providers, often suggestions from connections can be very helpful. Yet there are many parties with a keen interest in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, financial adviser and banks might all suggest solicitors to appoint. On occasion these solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there behind the scenes commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You have the right to select your preferred lawyer. Don't forget that some lenders operate an approved list of law firms you have to use for the mortgage aspect of your house move.
My father-in-law has suggested that I use his conveyancing solicitors in St Clears. Should I find my own property lawyer?
